Using their signature Ben Lomond Gin as the base, the combination of berries in the Blackberry & Gooseberry Gin pair beautifully with each other, offering a sweet yet zesty flavour; the succulent flavour of the blackberries is balanced perfectly with the sharp, tangy notes of the gooseberries. The team took inspiration from the beautiful Loch Lomond and Trossachs regions where the brand is based. They worked with a local forager to draw inspiration from the wild botanicals, vibrant berries and endless flora that can be found in the local area.

About

Loch Lomond Group is an independent distiller and blender of some of the finest and rarest whiskies in the world, with a number of whisky distilleries under the ownership and stewardship of the group as well as a number of other spirit brands. The group currently operates the Glen Scotia distillery in the Argyllshire port of Campbeltown, Loch Lomond distillery at Alexandria in Dunbartonshire and the Glen Catrine bonded warehouse and bottling facility in Ayrshire. With a rich and premium portfolio of spirits, it made sense for the group to create their own gin that was based on their ethos of providing premium spirits that capture the imagination and capture the spirit of Scotland.

Flavoured Gin

Flavoured Gins vary in flavour and colour. Often the gin will be infused with a flavour post-distillation through maceration or even the addition and blending of individual distillates or essences. Sometimes the gin will be created in one distillation. These styles of gin often have a key flavour which tends to lead the flavour profile, such as fresh berry fruit, citrus or any number of possible key botanicals and flavours. Although this gin style should still include juniper, it is often not the leading botanical.

Production

The Loch Lomond Group have partnered with The Glasgow Distillery Co. initially for production of their Ben Lomond Gins while they plan and build their own distillery. Ben Lomond is very much inspired by the majesty and beauty of Ben Lomond and the extensive natural flora within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs. For their fruit infused Scottish Gins, the team worked with a local forager to draw inspiration from the wild botanicals, vibrant berries and endless flora that can be found in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs regions, where the brand is based.
