About Isle of Bute Gorse Gin
Isle of Bute Gin came about after Head Distiller Simon Tardivel met Merchant City Brewing Co at an industry event. With a passion for craft drinks and a desire to explore the gin market, the Isle of Bute Gin team purchased a 200 litre still in 2018 and currently use the Merchant City Brewing Co premises in Glasgow. The team have plans to establish a distillery by 2020 on the Isle of Bute - a tiny island on Scotland's west coast. Isle of Bute Gorse Gin features botanicals including juniper and handpicked gorse from Bute. |

The Gin Guide Review
Isle of Bute Gorse Gin combines traditional gin characteristics with the sweet, nutty and slightly floral features of gorse. It is bold on the palate with juniper, classic rooty notes, citrus and hints of coconut and vanilla that gorse brings. The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish develops well with herbal and peppery elements emerging. Ideal served as a Gin & Tonic with a garnish of lemon or blackberries. - Paul Jackson, 2019 |
