Inspired by the famous Scottish dessert, Kilty Cranachan is distilled with the finest Scottish Oats, honey and raspberries, alongside their signature rowan berries and other classic gin botanicals. This remains a classic gin, but a slightly sweeter alternative to the classic Kilty London Dry style gin. Each batch of less than 200 bottles is distilled by the father son family team in the heart of Scotland in the Cathedral city of Dunblane. The raspberries and honey are individually distilled on a 3 litre ‘Rotavap’ still. This distils using a special vacuum at 40-60 degrees celsius, which preserves the fine, delicate flavours of the raspberries and honey. This is then added to the main distillation and left to rest for two weeks before bottling.

About Kilty Gin

Lovingly distilled in the heart of Scotland, Kilty Gin is inspired by travels and adventures around the many beautiful and majestic landscapes that surround us. The Kilty Gin story started with a passion for Scotland’s most famous spirit, whisky. Having fallen in love with the history, romanticism, quality and variety of Scotch whisky, the founders were inspired to create their own spirit that could itself start its own lasting legacy. It took almost two years for the founders and creators of Kilty Gin to launch from first conception. They didn’t want to rush the product and create something half-hearted. Having put their hearts and souls into this, they bring a gin to market that they are truly proud of.

Production

The Kilty Distillery itself is small and family run. The whole journey was inspired by owner Richard’s late grandfather, who was a hugely passionate maker of wine. It took 3 years of planning, learning and applications from the initial idea to the first drop coming off the still in 2019. Richard still uses some of his Grandpa’s old equipment in the distillery and will be using some of his old wine recipes as inspiration for future gin expressions. The distillery houses a 250 litre Geniostill, producing between 190 and 200 bottles per batch. These are individually bottled and hand labelled and numbered at the distillery. A total of 10 botanicals are used in Kilty Gin. Orange and lemon are vapour infused in the baskets at the base/middle of the vapour column, with heather tips in a basket at the very top of the column with the remaining botanicals macerated in the still. Richard is also experimenting with a Rotavap in the distillery for future expressions.
