Arbikie AK’S Gin
This characterful gin is named after Alexander Kirkwood Stirling (aka AK). He’s the father of Arbikie Highland Estate distillery founders Iain, John and David, their inspiration for starting Arbikie Distillery.
AK has been a craftsman of seed and soil for over 60 years and has passed on all his passion and skill to the next generation. This Scottish field to bottle gin is a tribute to AK.
The spirit is created entirely on their estate using their own wheat and water. It is distilled in their copper pot still and bottled in the distillery. They’ve weaved in botanicals to give it earthy and spicy hints and fresh local honey to add a subtle smoothness. Tastes that reflect the essence of the AK.
