Scotland and Whisky is a long-established partnership, however, there is no denying that gin is one of the world\u2019s fastest growing spirits, with Scottish gin in particular undergoing a massive revival.<\/p>\n
This has in turn led to a passion from consumers for exploring new brands and new ways of enjoying the spirit, be it with garnishes, tonics or in cocktails. The flexibility of the recipes, and relative simplicity of its production, makes gin the perfect spirit for those looking to create and sell their own brand.<\/p>\n
Believe it or not, last year alone, British drinkers consumed around the equivalent of 1.12 billion G&Ts, according to the Wine and Spirit Trade Association.<\/p>\n
With that we\u2019re pleased to report that Scotland is leading the way in distillation, with over 70 per cent of the production of the gin consumed in the UK occurring in our backyard, and according to market research site Euromonitor, sales of the white spirit could soon overtake the sales of blended whisky in the UK this year.<\/p>\n
