Pin Gin Review & Tasting Notes
About Pin Gin
Pin Gin is Lincolnshire's first gin and was launched in 2016 by Alan Bottomley and his partner Amy. 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 is distilled in-house in small batches in Louth in Lincolnshire and is inspired the surrounding countryside. The gin features 10 botanicals including rose, black pepper, lavender, cucumber and ground almonds. Find out the story behind the Pin Gin name in our interview with Alan Bottomley. The Gin Guide Review Pin Gin is a well-balanced, smooth and versatile gin. Warming spice from the black pepper and citrus, floral notes from the lavender and rose, and subtle sweetness and citrus notes from the orange and lemon peels come together beautifully. Each time you try Pin Gin you pick up another botanical and flavour. This well-rounded character and depth of flavour makes Pin Gin ideal for both fresh, summer G&Ts, warming winter G&Ts and everything in between - a proud and worthy start to distilling in Lincolnshire. - Paul Jackson, 2016 |

Meet the Maker
"Our aim when we first began to make our gin was to encapsulate the seasons and all the tastes and smells from around Lincolshire, and to do this we have used botanicals which everybody is familiar with." - Alan Bottomley, Founder & Distiller
