Kintyre Gin includes twelve botanicals in their core expression, which have all been sustainably sourced. To achieve the characteristics of a very flavoursome and well-balanced spirit, the gin consists of ten commonly used botanicals, with the addition of two which are unique, namely Icelandic moss and sheep sorrel – both grow on the Torrisdale estate in abundance. Either through maceration or vapour infusion, these produce a gin which is described as having earthy and spicy characteristics, being deep in flavour, with a very pleasant floral aroma; a true taste of Kintyre.

How to enjoy this gin
Kintyre Gin is a classic London Dry style of gin which lends itself well to a premium tonic, which brings out the natural sweetness, garnished with a sprig of basil. For those with less of a sweet palate, try a lighter tonic and add a slice of citrus, such as lime or pink grapefruit.
About Beinn an Tuirc Distillers
Beinn an Tuirc’ translates from gaelic as ‘The Hill of the Wild Boar’ and is the highest point in Kintyre, located above the distillery. The range of Kintyre Gins are sustainably produced using the distillery's own renewable energy, powered from the small hydro-electric scheme at Torrisdale Castle Estate. The water too, is sourced from the very hill where they take their name. Kintyre Gin was created to reflect the distillery's unique coastal, pasture and woodland position on the east coast of the Kintyre peninsula.
Production
Beinn an Tuirc Distillery occupies a former piggery building located on the Torrisdale Castle Estate in Kintyre, Scotland. Torrisdale Castle Estate has been in the ownership of the Macalister Hall family since 1872 and over the years has benefited from innovative diversification and in 2020 they generated more energy than they used, with an ongoing focus to reduce their carbon footprint. The Beinn an Tuirc Distillery features a distillery, tasting room, shop, gin school, cafe and walled garden with plans for potential whisky stills and more. Their still, ‘Big Don’, produces a variety of gin expressions and other spirits and liqueurs.
