Lussa Gin is an expression of the landscape on the Isle of Jura off Scotland’s wild west coast. For the team behind Lussa Gin that means growing, gathering and distilling local botanicals. They say location is everything, and luckily for them, their distillery is slap bang in the middle of a number of botanicals that grow on the island with additional botanicals brought in by boat from their trusted supplier. Lussa Gin is made at Ardlussa, at the north end of Jura. The terrain can be tough going and the weather unforgiving, but that’s why it’s an adventure.

About Lussa Drinks Company
Life would be boring without the occasional adventure. Living on a remote Scottish Island that can only be accessed by ferry when the weather is favourable, has one road, a population of 200 people and over 6000 deer sounds like an adventure is never far away. In 2015 with mother nature’s botanical larder readily available on the island, three friends Alicia Macinnes, Claire Fletcher and Georgina Kitching decided they wanted to share a new adventure together. With their own individual skills and backgrounds, they decided to set-up a distillery in Ardlussa on the island of Jura. Encouraged by their shared love of Jura and supported by the local community, the distillery was opened and ‘Jim’ the traditional Portuguese, handcrafted copper still was fired up and Lussa Gin was born.
Production
A visit to the Lussa Gin Distillery is a true Scottish Gin adventure. Once you depart from the ferry, you’ll drive 25 miles along a single track road to reach the distillery, which is located in Ardlussa at the north end of the Isle of Jura. The distillery can be found in a converted stable block that is home to Hamish, the Lussa Gin still.
