Eilean Mòr Gin
From Beinn an Tuirc Distillers on the Kintyre peninsula — the first gin distillery in Kintyre and powered entirely by renewable energy from their own hydroelectric and solar installations. The distillery's sustainability credentials are genuine: carbon-negative production, local botanical foraging, and a commitment to minimal waste. The gin itself is gentle and floral — a good representation of the Kintyre landscape. Available from the distillery, Campbeltown shops (combine with a Springbank visit), and online.
Botanicals
Tasting notes
Floral and herbaceous with a clean heather note. The Kintyre botanicals give it a soft, coastal character that's more delicate than Islay gins but more interesting than generic Highland offerings.
Perfect serve
Mediterranean tonic, fresh chamomile flower or lemon peel.
