The winners of the prestigious Scottish Gin Awards 2018 were announced at a glitzy ceremony last night in Glasgow. This is Scotland’s biggest spirits competition and winners were selected across 18 categories.

The Isle of Harris Distillery took the top prize of 'Scottish Gin Distillery of the Year' with many other Scottish gin producers coming home with fantastic awards recognising their innovation and excellence within the GINdustry.

Our second winter masterclass gives you the chance to try a range of malt whiskies including limited editions and new releases from Morrison & MacKay whisky merchants.

Whether you are new to whisky or a connoisseur, this is a fun, informal night to learn more and enjoy a few, very select drams with friends.

With only 20 tickets available, make sure you book your place soon!

We have taken the very difficult decision to cancel our GinFest this November and concentrate instead on our in-store tastings & masterclasses, mainly due to the huge demand placed on gin producers to attend events at such a busy time of year.

All ticket holders have been notified by email and fully refunded. We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment, but hope you can join us for our fantastic FREE in-store tasting events and our upcoming masterclasses with Scottish drinks producers. Keep an eye on our events page for all the details.

The sun is shining (hopefully), the BBQ is on and we have a great choice of cocktails for you! We have chosen ones that are simple to make at home, yet truly refreshing and delicious.

Which one would you choose for a summer evening?

We are delighted to announce that you can now buy a selection of our premium spirits through our website. 

Browse our range of artisan gins, malt whiskies, rums and Scottish liqueurs. We are adding more products every day, so watch this space!
