A keen interest in gin evolved in to a successful business for husband and wife team, Steven & Lynne. Esker Gin began with 2 years of experimentation in their kitchen with a 1 litre copper still to perfect the recipe. Using a mix of 12 botanicals including locally sourced silver birch tree sap, an award winning, full flavoured gin was crafted. They began distilling in their shed, but after 12 months their popularity meant expansion to a small, family owned distillery on the Kincardine Estate, where the silver birch trees grow, was necessary.
