About this deal

Designed to represent the island on which it is made, Barra gin is distilled using 17 botanicals including locally island foraged Carrageen, giving it a balanced profile with juniper, citrus and of course, a little sea salt. The valentine message inscribed bottle was a great idea and much appreciated by my valentine. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the inscribing though -- it looked very impressive in the picture but in reality it was quite difficult to read (it didn't stand out against the pink liquid very well).

This sense of adventure is what we channel in our gin. Our beacon will guide you so far, but beyond that is the freedom to drink wherever and however you choose; be that somewhere familiar with a classic or off grid with something new, there are no wrong routes. Look around, be inspired. All paths are there to be trodden.This new handcrafted gin was launched at a special event on the island of Raasay on the west coast and is distilled in a Frilli copper pot still using an expert blend of ten botanicals. Our personalised Blood Orange and Pink Grapefruit gin is very smooth with fresh grapefruit zest and a burst of juicy blood orange. Followed by a beautifully balanced juniper finish. The refreshing berry sweetness with lingering orange zest makes for the perfect gin gift. Holyrood Distillery and Eden Mill tied in first place for the most amount of medals achieved with each of them taking home four medal positions. Yes, all personalised Ben Lomond gin bottles can be engraved in any language you can enter into the field. Please get in touch with customer support with any additional requirements.

Ben Lomond Gin - Ginteresting Times ISGD Tasting: Ben Lomond Gin - Ginteresting Times

The Scottish Gin Awards have revealed gin brands which have successfully achieved medal status in 2022, following the awards dinner in Glasgow this month. The best way to do that. Go all in. The perfect amount of each botanical is added all together, at the start of distilling process. The door is closed, and the stills work their magic. It’s not about nuance for us it’s about balance. However, when we make Ben Lomond we’re not trying to accent one particular flavour, rather we’re distilling a wonderful balance of juniper, citrus, spice, earthy and floral tones.

Following the recent trend for some of the bigger whisky distilleries to get involved in the gin market (see Benromach), Tobermory Distillery's offering is created using Hebridean tea, heather, elderflower and a splash of spirit from the Tobermory whisky stills, on a traditional John Dore & Co copper still sourced from South Africa. The Raasay Distillery team, who are also set to produce a single malt, say the result is a “complex but well balanced” dry gin with a lasting aftertaste “encapsulating Raasay’s style, character and impressive geological variety”. Start up gin businesses including Fassfern Distillery and Rutland Square Gin also collected medals, with Rutland Square Gin, made under contract at Summerhall Distillery, collecting the Gold Medal for Best Flavoured Gin. On the nose, you get juniper of course, but you also absolutely get a hefty waft of berries from those signature botanicals which, along with the orange, add a slightly sweeter note than you’d often get in a dry gin from citrus alone. Finally, you get a lingering pepperiness from the Szechuan which is actually more prominent than I would normally expect.

Ben Lomond Gin has been inspired by the majesty and beauty of Ben Lomond, as well as the extensive natural flora within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs. The gin is a London Dry style, and the bottle features The rowan tree, native to the UK and most commonly found in the Highlands of Scotland, is prominent in folklore and was thought to provide protection from enchantment. The Ben Lomond Gin is so passionate about the local landscape that the brand has entered a partnership with leading conservation charity, the John Muir Trust. Driven by a passion for all things drinks-related, Sean writes for The Scotsman extensively on the subject. He can also sometimes be found behind the bar at the world famous Potstill bar in Glasgow where he continues to enhance his whisky knowledge built up over 10 years advising customers from all over the world on the wonders of our national drink.

We are extremely proud of our new Ben Lomond Gin. We spent a long time perfecting our recipe and crafting something unique for gin lovers to discover and enjoy. Loch Lomond and The Trossachs is renowned as one of the most beautiful landscapes in the UK and our gin is inspired by this stunning area.”
