About

Persie Gin is the brainchild of the people behind the world’s first touring gin club, Chrissie and Simon Fairclough. Thget toured Scotland and other parts of the UK teaming up with distillers, pubs, hotels and restaurants at the forefront of the drinks industry to help thousands of gin-lovers in their quest to find the perfect snifter. Using the feedback played a role in couple’s decision to set up their own distillery, which finally opened in 2014, offering tours, tastings and a shop filled with their growing range of Persie Gins.

Old Tom Gin

Old Tom Gin is a style of gin that’s had a resurgence in recent years. Old Tom Gins can be described as being similar to London Dry Gins expect sweeter. Normally, sugars, honey or sweet syrups are added in the distillation or post-distillation to create a sweet style gin that retains botanical flavours but is underpinned with sweet notes on the palate.
