What could be better than a beautiful bottle of gin? Isle of Bute gin - our quaint Scottish island is the inspiration behind their small batch gin - crafted with care in the heart of Rothesay using a traditional copper still. They source botanicals from across the island and nearby areas to create best-in-class gin that lends itself to life on the Scottish isles. Their bottles are a work of art (literally) and painted by Scottish landscape artist Emma S Davis. Gin include: Island, Oyster, Gorse, Heather and Oaked.
