Platinum gin
Stirling Distillery, situated in the shadow of Stirling Castle, has launched a limited edition Platinum gin.
Created to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, there will be only 500 of these special bottles created. Gin lovers can pour themselves a G&T fit for a Queen and party like a royal at Jubilee celebrations across the UK with this eye-catching bottle.
As Stirling Distillery has a royal connection - James VI is said to have stabled his horses where the ‘Old Smiddy’ building sits – it wanted to pay homage to Her Majesty and her 70 years of service with this striking bottle of nettle-based classic gin.
Designed by graphic designer Megan Raine and distillery co-founder June McCann, the bottle celebrates the Stirlingshire nettles that gives their gin the unique flavour of Stirlingshire’s countryside.
Presented in a regal laurel wreath design with royal crowns hidden through the design, those who get their hands on a bottle can win tickets to a gin tasting at the distillery if they find the crown locations and tag @Stirlingdistillery on social media.
Hand-dipped in a platinum coloured wax seal, the bottle is filled with Stirling Distillery’s signature nettle gin. Made with carefully chosen botanicals including basil and citrus peel to create a complex spirit, the smooth, lingering finish carries a peppery tang that is both spicy and dry. By using local nettles the distillery are working to provide a sustainably sourced spirit.
