Precision Spirits was founded in January 2019 by friends Luke Cochrane and Guy Wardrop. Both from chemical engineering backgrounds, Luke and Guy in their final year of University saw a number of what they would describe as ‘stale’ drinks products appearing on the shelves. And by stale they mean products that lacked innovation. Products that didn’t use new processes or techniques to create flavour.
It was this idea of breaking down the old production methods, looking at where the process could be improved that drove Luke and Guy to set-up Precision Spirits. They also wanted to breakdown some of the boundaries and stereotypes they came across in the world of drinks with too many drinks relying on tradition rather than innovation.

Precision Spirits Wild Berry Gin is a seasonal release and features blackberries, strawberries and raspberries sourced from Scottish producers. The berries are quickly frozen from picking to lock in the fresh sweet and tart berry flavours. Juniper, coriander and basil also feature to add a fresh, herbaceous backbone to the palate. On the nose, delicate red berries with bright, fragrant fruit. On the palate, raspberry and strawberries are notably reminiscent of homemade jam, with some mild anise and blackberry. The finish is a mellow berry finish with a clean, fresh earthy finish.
Key Botanical(s): Blackberries, Strawberries and Raspberries
Gin Style: Flavoured
Strength: 40% vol
Goes great with: A basil leaf, tonic and ice.
Citrus Gin features two distillates that are blended to create the final gin. Lemon and Kaffir Lime distillate is carefully balanced and blended with a grapefruit and orange distillate to create a flavour profile that fuses bright sweetness, citric tartness and tangy. Juniper, rosemary and coriander provide the classic gin elements and help tie the flavour profile together. On the nose bright, fresh citrus is present with some piney juniper notes. On the palate soft lemon opens up before moving to fuller citric notes across the palate balanced by some mint notes and slightly sweet citrus of the kaffir lime and sharper grapefruit notes. On the finish the sweetness of the orange comes through along with a lingering citrus.
Key Botanical(s): Kaffir Lime, Grapefruit, Rosemary
Gin Style: Distilled
Strength: 40% vol
Goes great with: A wedge of grapefruit, tonic and ice.
