THE Isle of Skye’s famous restaurant with rooms, The Three Chimneys, has teamed up with one of the UK’s most northerly distilleries to launch its own new gin brand.
Over the last year, The Three Chimneys has been working with North Point Distillery in the far north Scottish Highlands to create its own label spirit exclusively for guests visiting the island.
A custom-built 200L electrically fired still, called ‘Audrey’, was created by North Point Distillery to make The Three Chimneys Gin. Distilled and bottled in a small batch of just 240 bottles, The Three Chimneys Gin is described as a classic Old Tom gin (40% vol).
The gin is contained in a 70cl bevelled glass bottle created by Croxsons.
The painting featured on the label takes inspiration from the natural Skye landscape, while the original watercolour is by Skye-based artist Peter McDermott.
Kieran Walker, general manager at The Three Chimneys, said, “We’re really excited to be raising a glass to the launch of The Three Chimneys’ new gin, thanks to our talented friends at North Point Distillery in Caithness, as well as our glass bottle supplier, Croxsons. Together, we share a focus on authenticity and sustainability in everything that we do.”
