Introducing Granite North Gin

Local lore has it that Highlanders took to the hills with mobile stills to make more than just illicit whisky. Nearly 300 years ago, the rugged, mountainous landscape was rich in the botanicals that can be found in many a modern Scottish gin. Using juniper, pine needles, heather and thistles that were all available in abundance, those early distilling pioneers made a spirit that was a forerunner to modern gin with a truly distinctive Scottish twist.

Today, the highland landscape is still as wild and rugged and rich in ingredients as it was back then. And it's this dramatic landscape, and the pioneering spirit of its former residents, that is the inspiration for Granite North Gin. The gin recipe was developed in Aberdeen with the magnificent Cairngorm Mountain range visible in the distance and is distilled in the same hills that once held the Highlanders secrets.

Taking its name from the rock so closely associated with the North East of Scotland, Granite North Gin is inspired by the rugged peaks and ancient forests of the Scottish Highlands.

Developed for the modern adventurer, Granite North is a smooth London Dry gin packed with flavour. A juniper-forward gin, its fresh, citrus taste is smooth enough to drink on its own or with a light tonic to release even more of its zesty flavour and is robust enough to stand up and stand out in cocktails. Its outdoor personality is revealed in the subtle infusion of Grand Fir needles that complement the native taste of its juniper cousin, helping to summon the fresh aromas of the pure mountain air.

Handcrafted in small batches in the Highlands of Scotland, Granite North Gin is distilled using water from its Cairngorm Mountain range home. With its rich contour of flavours capturing the essence of the rugged Highland landscape, Granite North Gin will warm on the coldest winter nights and refresh on the balmiest of summer days.
