Gin distilling: from field to bottle

Making your own base spirit (GNS)

Kirsty is a graduate of Heriot Watt University, with a Masters degree in Brewing and Distilling.

Kirsty was involved in the design and building of the Arbikie distillery from scratch.

The product line includes Arbikie’s first gin formed from a potato-based spirit and botanicals that capture her local environment.

As testament to how well she is regarded at Arbikie, her name is on their gin, ‘Kirsty’s gin’. The distillery also produces Nàdar Gin, a climate positive gin.
