The Stand Bar & Restaurant is very proud to have Gin Bothy on our shelves. Gin Bothy pride themselves on providing a premium spirit which is hand -crafted in the Angus Glens of Scotland. It is infused with tradition but given a contemporary twist. Gin Bothy use traditional methods of production: every bottle is numbered, batched and poured by hand making their product more personal & niche. They also source local produces for their gins such as the berries, botanicals around the bothy where the gin is produced.
We love gin but we also love a cocktail so we thought it was only right to share some cocktails we have tried thanks to Gin Bothy sharing some of their favourites with us!
