Welcome Welcome to True OriGINs – The Scottish Gin Festival. The celebration of all things True Scottish gin. You’ve made the first step of gathering your #ginpals and joining us to enjoy some real spirits! True OriGINs is the brainchild of Aberdeenshire brothers Mungo & Guy Finlayson. Who run an events company in the North-East of Scotland running three festival brands, which have seen over 25,000 attendees. In 2017 they launched True OriGINs - The Scottish Gin Festival, in conjunction with Aberdeen charity Friends of Anchor. The brothers became official marquee sponsors for the charity which enabled them to bring a brand-new festival brand to Aberdeen, specialising in serving gins where their True OriGIN is Scotland. #ginpals

The manufacturer of Scotland’s first tonic water has expanded its range with four new flavours. Walter Gregor’s tonic water was launched in 2015, and is hand crafted in Pitsligo in the North East of Scotland. The mixer is named after a 19th Century North East minister and renowned plantsman, whose garden is now used to grow many of the botanical ingredients for the tonic water. As part of the range expansion, the brand has been updated along with a new website to help fans find stockists for the artisan product, and share serve suggestions. Walter Gregor’s tonic water has been achieving growth rates of 225% since its launch and the company has just invested £150,000 in an automatic bottling line to meet anticipated future demand. Its success has caught the eye of BBC
programme makers, and it was featured on a BBC Alba’s ‘Talamh Torrach (‘fertile land’) programme earlier this year. Walter Gregor’s owner, Claire Rennie, who founded the company after a crowd-funding campaign in 2014, said: “As seasons come and go our garden provides us with different produce. This has inspired us to create new products for our range. We have now expanded into a small but beautiful selection of tonics; Original, light 8
and refreshing Cucumber and Mint, juicy Scottish Raspberry, autumnal Apple and Cinnamon and Spiced - a perfect pairing for darker spirits. “Our range of tonics are truly hand-crafted. We have a small team who grow the botanicals in Walter Gregor’s walled garden, and bottle the drinks in a converted steading a few fields away from his old manse. We’ve put love and care into our new range of tonics, and our fresh natural ingredients will enhance your gin and tonic, or provide an inspiring mixer for cocktails or other spirits. It’s great to see that the public appreciate the hard work of artisan producers, with a real appetite for hand-crafted drinks.”
38% in the last 12 months. Such is the popularity of gin that the Office for National Statistics has included gin in the basket of goods it monitors to measure inflation. A total of 60 million bottles of gin were sold in the last year according to the Wine and Spirit Trade Association – enough for 1.68 billion gin and tonics. Walter Gregor’s tonic water is now stocked in Waitrose supermarkets, where sales of artisan gin are up 167%. It is also sold in bars, restaurants and speciality retailers across Scotland.
All the drinks in the range are made with natural ingredients and have no artificial colour or flavours added. They are The company has benefited from pasteurised in water baths to a booming gin industry, with remove the need for artificial sales of the spirit increasing by preservatives.

NO FUSS We developed this gin to move away from the fussy niche gin approach so often used at the moment. Hills & Harbour Gin was developed to have a much wider appeal, and try to bring more people into craft spirits. Essentially we have built on top of a classic gin base and created a very well balanced and easy drinking product.
Hills & Harbour Gin Galloway is our home and a special corner of Scotland. Surrounded by forests and unspoilt coastlines, it’s the perfect larder for our ingredients. Our smooth and vibrant Hills & Harbour Gin offers a taste of Galloway and uniquely features our own wheat grain spirit. With local Noble Fir needles and Bladderwrack Seaweed, it leads with juniper and is balanced with hints of forest fir, tropical fruit, citrus spice, tangy sherbet and a subtle scent of the shore. We’re from Scotland, the country that invented

Gin-Making Using A
Lyne Arm
Pot Still.
As the liquid in the pot heats up, botanical laden vapours pass along the lyne arm into the condensing coil.
Condensing Coil
Pot Distillation The still is filled with a neutral base spirit then loaded with botanicals before being heated up to around 75 to 83 degrees celsius.
The vapour passes through the condensing coil which is surounded by cold water. This allows the vapour to condense into a high strength Gin!!
Distillate Out Distillate leaves the still here
Pot Water In and Out
Botanicals and neutral spirit are placed in the pot before heating.
These allow a constant flow of cold water to surround the coil.

The Teasmith
Being inspired from the “Granite City” of Aberdeen and ancient forests of the Scottish Highlands, along with Granite North’s founder Sandy Matheson’s passion for hillwalking, this created the initial idea for the gin. As a qualified engineer and a self-confessed perfectionist for Sandy it's all about the details. Hand crafted in small batches in the Highlands of Scotland.
Juniper, coriander, grains of paradise, orange peel and other carefully selected botanicals are distilled not once, but twice, in traditional copper alembic stills. Through this delicate process of distillation, each individual ingredient is carefully blended to ensure The Teasmith is a truly unique gin, characterised by its clarity, simplicity and confidence. Garnish – Sprig of fresh mint Mixer – Walter Gregor
