Tobermory Distillery’s Hebridean Mountain Gin has been awarded best Scottish Gin at the World Gin Awards.

Competing against some of the biggest names in gin, the Mull distillery claimed the ‘Country Award’ for Scotland for the gin which is infused with hand-selected botanicals alongside a splash of new make spirit from the distillery’s whisky stills. Wild heather from the island’s mountains complement rowan berry, rosehip and 10 other botanicals inspired by Mull, to create a gin which is smooth and sweet with a gently warming spice.

The distillery’s small batch gin is wholly inspired by its beautiful island home on the Inner Hebrides and can be enjoyed as a delicious gin and tonic or used as a base ingredient for an enticing selection of cocktails.

Production of Tobermory Gin is overseen by Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez, and Cara Gilbert, one of the world’s youngest distillery managers. 

In addition to this award, Tobermory’s Mountain Gin has previously won World’s Best Classic Gin at last year’s World Gin Awards.

Laura Thomson, global brand manager at Tobermory Distillery said: “It’s incredible to impress the World Gin Award judges for a second year in a row.  Every bottle transports drinkers to our beautiful island where this gin takes its inspiration. From the wild purple heather clad mountains to the dash of new make spirit from our whisky stills, the smooth and refreshing gin represents the very best of Mull.
