ABOUT US
HOW ‘GIN FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE’ ALL STARTED…
Tipple Spirits Ltd was born in Aberdeen on the north-east coast of bonnie Scotland. As gin lovers, we have completely dedicated ourselves to crafting a timeless and elegant, yet modern gin using the finest of botanicals from across the world. Our aim? To simply create a superior Scottish gin that you will want to come back to time and time again!
We wanted to create the balance between a dry gin with a natural hint of sweetness.
After 19 months of experimentation (hundreds of recipe variations later) by Laura and Neil, the final recipe was chosen and the very first batch was distilled on the 20th June 2020.
TIPPLE GIN BOTANICALS
Tipple Gin brings to you with every sip the familiarity of traditional juniper but combines it with a beautiful infusion of wild berries, fresh rosemary and gorgeously sweet, locally sourced honey. Our gin harnesses the essence of Scotland by intricately marrying our finest distilled spirit with the fresh, crisp and clear waters of the celebrated Royal Deeside spring in Aberdeenshire to give a long clean finish.
Mmmmmm delicious!
DAMSONS: A small fruit with vibrant dark blue skin and a strong, tart, sweet-sour flavour, damsons are similar to plums and a member of the rose family. This adds a deep fruity character and balance to our gin.
LOCAL DEESIDE HONEY:
Tipple contains deliciously sweet Deeside honey, sourced from a local master bee keeper. The bees collect nectar from various locations in and around the Dee valley. This mixture of heather, willow herb and clover honey gives Tipple its unique sweetness.
FRESH ROSEMARY:
This aromatic shrub has a slightly pronounced minty, lemon-pine aroma with a peppery, balsamic taste with a bitter, woody aftertaste.
LEMONGRASS:
This herb has a pungent lemony, herbaceous, and sweetly floral flavour. Reminiscent of Lemon Sherbets!
Our favourite is simply neat on the rocks or with premium tonic, copious amounts of ice and a sprig of fresh rosemary!
