An international celebration
of all things Scottish Gin.
5.10.24

Based in the heart of whisky country, distilling was in the blood of the El:gin founders. El:gin was established in early 2015 and following months of trials, the first gin was launched in May 2016. It was important for the founders that the gin was truly local and emulate the majestic Moray countryside, so it goes without saying that distillation and bottling takes place in a small distillery located within the tranquil grounds of a local estate.

El:gin has a distinctive smooth creaminess coming from its unique distillation with Scottish oats and a subtle sweetness from locally grown berries. The distiller works with a direct-fire 80 litre copper pot still resulting in a truly unique gin.

El:gin Distillery

Tucked away on a private estate on the outskirts of Elgin, you’ll find the El:gin Distillery. Housed in a purpose built outbuilding, the distillery houses two traditional fired copper pot emblematic stills used to create the various El:gin gin expressions, El:gin gin based liqueurs and a new El:gin vodka. The estate is also home to some of the fruit and botanicals used by the team at El:gin along with an on-site source of fresh water from a local spring. Company is never in short supply as you’re greeted by the estate’s local inhabitants including red squirrels, red deer, a pony, a shetland pony and a donkey!
