Lincolnshire Gins & Distilleries in Lincolnshire
On This Page: Lincolnshire Gin and Distillery directory, reviews and tasting notes, gin distillery map, distillery tours and gin schools in Lincolnshire, interviews with Lincolnshire distillers.

Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands of England, had been without a commercial distillery since 1863. However, in recent years this has all changed with Bottomley Distillers establishing Lincolnshire's first gin distillery in 2016 and many more following to total 8 gin distilleries in the county at present. There is plenty of inspiration for the distillers in Lincolnshire too, from the Lincolnshire Fens and the long North Sea coast to the cathedral and castle in the county town of Lincoln. Three of the 8 gin distilleries can be visited for gin tastings, tours or gin making experiences, so there is plenty to enjoy if you're a gin lover visiting or living in Lincolnshire.

Pin Gin

Bottomley Distillers was established in Louth in 2016 by Alan and Amy Bottomley. Alan's father had taught him to distill whisky and he decided to move from his career as an engineer in order to put some of these skills to use with Bottomley Distillers' first gin, Pin Gin, which was launched in 2017 and features botanicals including rose, black pepper, lavender and cucumber. The distillery now produces multiple editions of Pin Gin as well as their rum brand, Rum Cat, and white label products for other brands and organisations.
