Elgin, Moray, Scotland
Find your perfect gin

The El:gin brand, established in early 2015, launched its signature El:gin Gin in May 2016, following months of trials and product development. The El:gin distillery and business is located on the tranquil grounds of the founder’s family estate on the outskirts of Elgin. With several world famous whisky distilleries on her doorstep and a 25-plus-year career in the world of whisky, founder Leah saw an opportunity to create a Scottish Gin brand and spirits where she could use her experience and recognise the place she calls home.

It was a priority for Leah that the brand, distillery and spirits produced were true to the brand name, with all production, including distillation, taking place near Elgin. Since the launch of the signature El:gin Gin, Leah has continued to invest in the area and grown the El:gin brand and range of spirits, with many featuring several locally foraged and grown botanicals.

Leah has developed a team of locally raised distillers and brand ambassadors who know the local area and understand the majestic Moray countryside. The distillery is a true small batch distillery, producing small spirit runs crafted with care and skill to make great tasting spirits using two directly fired traditional Portuguese alembic copper pot stills.
