FOUR craft gin makers in Scotland have secured lucrative contracts totalling £800,000 in a deal to supply supermarket giant Asda.
As the market for high-quality unique spirits continues to grow, Eden Mill, Pickerings, Porter’s and Ginerosity Distillery have launched five new products between them at Asda stores.
Eden Mill has secured a deal with Asda to launch its new Original and Love Gin products, both of which exhibit unique flavours. The Original Gin consists of Sea Buckthorn Berries – a super food that grows locally, whilst the Love Gin is created with botanicals sourced from all around the world.
Meanwhile, the additional favoured distillers will launch their newest products including Pickerings 70cl bottle and Ginerosity’s 50cl bottle – the world’s first social enterprise gin distilled by Pickerings with the money raised going towards supporting disadvantaged young adults in Scotland.
Aberdeen’s local distillery, Porter’s, will also see its 70cl bottle hit the shelves with all of the new products available in 13 stores across the country from early May. Gin aficionados can also now purchase the original Edinburgh Gin as well as Rhubarb and Ginger liqueur at 390 stores across the UK after securing a national listing with Asda.
Heather Turnbull, of Asda Scotland, said: “By launching sophisticated spirits such as Eden Mill, Pickerings, Porter’s and Ginerosity in Asda across Scotland, it will now mean that more consumers can enjoy a truly Scottish drinking experience.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
