Delicious sloe berries & hand gathered Uist brambles are added to Downpour Scottish Dry Gin before being aged in bourbon casks for an unmistakable finish that delivers complex & rich fruity flavours.

A slow sloe gin. We soak the sloes in alcohol for up to a year, allowing the stone to impart marzipan notes. Each batch is named after the area of the island that the brambles are gathered.

TASTING NOTES - Rich, jammy, fruit cake flavours. The ageing in bourbon casks adds vanilla notes. Less sweet than a traditional sloe gin so can be paired with a mixer or sipped neat.

Downpour Gin

North Uist Distillery – based in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides - was founded in 2019 by Jonny Ingledew and Kate Macdonald, a local couple who returned to the island on which they’d grown up with the aim of starting a distillery that would showcase Uist’s outstanding natural ingredients and provide local employment. The distillery now employs over a dozen people and every aspect of production, from the selecting of ingredients to the bottling and packaging, is done in-house
