Our Story
It all began with one man’s love of gin. With so many wild and wonderful Scottish distilleries popping up each year, Stephen White’s passion for Scottish gin became so great that he decided to set up a Society for fellow gin lovers.
In his own bars and restaurants across Glasgow he’s known for offering much more than a standard G&T as the many gin enthusiasts he’s met along the way will testify. By sharing his experience online, the Society has grown.
We now collaborate with gin lovers, makers, movers and shakers to bring you updates on the explosion of Scottish gins as well as the best in Scottish gin news, tastings and events.
When we’re not chopping garnishes, refilling our ice trays, or memorising perfect serves we’re out visiting distilleries to hear first-hand what makes each Scottish gin so special.
Come mix with us whether you’re a newbie or a long time fan. The Scottish Gin Society is here to help you take even greater pleasure from Scottish gin. Trying new ones, enjoying old favourites new ways, finding new ways to share with friends.
Ours is most definitely a social Society. So join us as we bring those who make great Scottish gin, and those who drink it together.
