FIRST JOURNEYS - THE HIGHLANDS TRAIL- PIN 01 OF 22
GLASWEGIN, Scotland
A JOURNEY EXPLORING THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND
Discover the distilleries, landscapes, legends and local stories that inspire every bottle.
While the country is rightly celebrated as the home of whisky, it has also become one of the world's most exciting destinations for gin. From island distilleries and Highland bothies to bustling city producers, Scottish gin draws inspiration from an extraordinary variety of landscapes, traditions and native botanicals.
The journey begins in Glasgow.
Set on the banks of the River Clyde, Scotland's largest city grew from a medieval settlement into one of Britain's great industrial powerhouses.
Shipbuilding, engineering and Victorian architecture helped shape its identity, while today its creativity is reflected in a thriving food, drink and design scene.
For many years, however, Glasgow lacked a gin that truly reflected the city itself.
That changed when Andy McGeoch founded Glaswegin. His ambition wasn't simply to create another London Dry, but to bottle the character of Glasgow. Working with designer Paul Gray, he developed a striking bottle inspired by the city's industrial heritage—clean, bold and unmistakably Glaswegian.
Inside, carefully selected botanicals complete a gin that pays tribute to the place that inspired it.
It's the perfect place to begin our journey.
So pour yourself a G&T, settle in, and let's explore the Scottish Highlands and beyond, discovering the people, places and stories behind some of Scotland's most remarkable gins.
