Lunun Gin was launched in 2019 by Chef Dean Banks, one of Scotland's most highly rated chefs who runs Haar restaurant in St Andrews and The Pompadour at the Waldorf Astoria in Edinburgh. Lunun Gin is distilled by Distillutions in Dean's hometown of Arbroath and has an Asian influence inspired by Dean’s travels across the globe and his expertise in fusion cooking. The gin’s name is an adaptation of Angus’ most peaceful and secluded beach, ‘Lunan Bay’.

The Gin Guide Review: Lunun Gin is a clean, characterful and savoury gin with distinctive Asian influence. The lemongrass and Kaffir lime leaves deliver a herbal citrus character that is supported by the zing of sea buckthorn, while aromatic ginger and Sichuan pepper add depth on the palate and warmth through the finish. Each botanical has a role while harmonising together seamlessly. With Tonic Water, the spice notes provide the undertones while juniper and citrus are elevated for a skilfully balanced G&T. - Paul Jackson, 2022
