With a shared love of adventure and the wilderness of the Isle of Jura, neighbours, Alicia, Claire & Georgina decided to leave their day jobs to pursue a new venture in gin. They shared a vision that this gin should encapsulate the spirit of the Isle of Jura, and so, in an outbuilding on the Ardlussa Estate, they began experimenting with botanicals that only grow wild on the island. They began this process in Jim, a 5 litre copper still, and eventually found the perfect balance of ingredients foraged from land and sea. They are committed to the quality of their product, carrying out the entire process themselves, including collect all the ingredients by hand – which includes kayaking for sea lettuce and wading for bog myrtle. They are still based in the same outbuilding where they welcome visitors, but they have upgraded to Hamish, a 100 litre still to keep up with demand!
