Gin Lussa

Founded in 2017 by Graham Taylor, Crafty Distillery has earned a reputation for delivering big on quality & taste. Creative thinking and hard work sit at the core of what it takes to deliver on the promise of ‘craft’.

Our heavily awarded Hills & Harbour Gin delivers a vibrant and smooth taste of the forests and coastline of Galloway, elegantly packaged in an innovative and eco-friendly bottle.

With local Noble Fir needles and Bladderwrack Seaweed, it leads with juniper and is balanced with hints of forest fir, tropical fruit, citrus spice, tangy sherbet and a subtle scent of the shore.

One of the rare gins in Scotland to be distilled with our own spirit, we take local wheat and water combine in our 7 day fermentation process to create maximum character and mouth feel. This process takes more time, energy, cost and know-how, but delivering a gin that lives up to the true meaning of ‘craft’ is essential for us.

Lussa Gin is an expression of our wild landscape on the Isle of Jura, situated off Scotland’s west coast. For us that means growing, gathering and distilling fifteen zesty and aromatic botanicals so we can pack as much local flavour into every bottle as we can.

At cooler temperatures you can actually see the botanical oils as a faint haze in the bottle – if you’re lucky, you’ll see a flash of them when you add tonic. Because every batch is hand made using a traditional still, the temperature where the oils show themselves will vary. What never varies is the care we take in growing, gathering and distilling Lussa Gin at the north end of our breathtaking, windswept isle.

Nose Orange blossom and lemon balm, slightly savoury hints of oat biscuits.

Palate Peppermint and lemongrass, with touches of oily juniper developing.

Finish Fresh and floral, with peppery spice lingering.
