Esker Spirits is Royal Deeside’s first gin distillery and was founded in October 2015 by husband and wife Steven and Lynne Duthie in Cults, Aberdeen.
A keen interest in gin evolved into nearly 2 years experimentation with a 1 litre copper still in their kitchen.
For the gin they wanted to create the concept was simple – a classic gin with enhanced flavours to create a proper gin, complimented by mixers and garnish, not defined by them.
The result is a tasty tipple which features a selection of botanicals including juniper, pink peppercorn, cassia, heather, rosehip, milk thistle and silver birch sap, among others.
Our suggestion is that Esker gin is best served over ice with a tonic of your choice, then finished off with a twist of orange zest. Then enjoy.
