Badachro Distillery

Badachro, Highland, Scotland
Find your perfect gin

In the remote and beautiful hamlet of Badachro, near Gairloch in the Highlands of Scotland, you’ll find the Badachro Distillery. Established by husband and wife Gordon and Vanessa Quinn, the couple met by chance at the Badachro Inn when both visited the area on holiday and, due to bad weather, found themselves chatting into the wee small hours. The couple were married less than twelve weeks later, thanks to a chance meeting in Badachro.

With the sea to the west and north, the Torridon mountains to the east, and Loch Torridon to the south, the area provides a glimpse of the true Scottish wilderness. Pitch black night skies where the stars are at times almost blindingly bright, an arm of the Milky Way galaxy streaks above in the night’s sky and the Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights) can often be seen over the winter months dancing overhead. From these magical surroundings, Gordon and Vanessa with the abundant fresh water and natural botanicals on their doorstep, found their inspiration to create a gin named after the place they love and call home.

Badachro Gin

Scottish Gin lovingly produced and bottled in the distillery overlooking the beautiful Badachro Bay. The label reflects the purity of the land, mountains and water around Badachro, the clarity of the sky and the copper of the still, Delilah. Every bottle is distilled by hand and uniquely numbered. Using botanicals that grow in the ancient lands within sight of the distillery, water that falls through the pure, unpolluted air above the village and the much documented highland tradition of distilling, Badachro Gin is born from the delight and wonder of the surrounding landscape.

Badachro Gin 57° Storm Strength

Badachro Gin 57° Storm Strength is a full flavoured, high strength version of Badachro Gin. 57% ABV is the traditional ‘navy strength’ benchmark, when sailors would test that their gin rations had not been watered-down by pouring some onto a small pile of gunpowder and lighting it. If the wet gunpowder burned, then the spirit was 57% ABV or over, but if it didn’t… then someone had been ‘at it’! And as if by fate, Badachro Distillery is located close to the 57° North line of latitude and being on the wild west coast, is no stranger to the full force of West Highland storms!
