Lussa Drinks Company

Isle of Jura, Argyll & Bute, Scotland
Find your perfect gin

Life would be boring without the occasional adventure. Living on a remote Scottish Island that can only be accessed by ferry when the weather is favourable, has one road, a population of 200 people and over 6000 deer sounds like an adventure is never far away.

In 2015 with mother nature’s botanical larder readily available on the island, three friends Alicia Macinnes, Claire Fletcher and Georgina Kitching decided they wanted to share a new adventure together. With their own individual skills and backgrounds, they decided to set-up a distillery in Ardlussa on the island of Jura. Encouraged by their shared love of Jura and supported by the local community, the distillery was opened and ‘Jim’ the traditional Portuguese, handcrafted copper still was fired up and Lussa Gin was born.

Lussa Gin

Lussa Gin is an expression of the landscape on the Isle of Jura off Scotland’s wild west coast. For the three women behind Lussa Gin that means growing, gathering and distilling 15 local botanicals. They say location is everything, and luckily for them, the distillery is slap bang in the middle of a number of botanicals that grow on the island. There are just over two hundred people on the island. The terrain can be tough going and the weather unforgiving, but that’s why it’s an adventure. You could say it’s a labour of Lussa.
