Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of Scottish shipbuilding, Shipyard Gin is a tribute to the resilience and ingenuity of the community of Inverclyde. Distilled with a deep respect for craftsmanship, this Scottish gin is a homage to the founder Andy Samuel's grandfather, a dedicated plater at Scott's Shipbuilding in Greenock. The gin encapsulates the spirit of a bygone era when the shipyards of the River Clyde were a bustling hub of world-renowned skill and innovation.

Shipyard Gin is not just a spirit; it's a story in a bottle, celebrating the legacy of the shipbuilders whose creations once graced the seas. Each batch is meticulously handcrafted using botanicals handpicked from the very banks where the shipyards once proudly stood. The gin's unique character comes from the harmonious blend of gorse, elderflower, and a hint of heather, delivering a citrus-forward profile with the faintest whisper of floral notes.

The gin's essence is further enriched by the gorse flower's subtle coconut and vanilla nuances, a nod to the natural beauty that surrounds the Clyde. This premium craft gin is a modern twist on the famous skill and craftsmanship that once thrived along the riverbanks, now distilled into a spirit that's perfect for savoring at summer garden parties or as a warming reminder of the West of Scotland's sunshine during the winter months.

Shipyard Gin is a celebration of heritage, passion, and craftsmanship, distilled in Scotland and made in Inverclyde. It is a testament to the founder's vision of honoring the success of Scottish shipbuilding through a gin that aspires to be as renowned as the ships once built on the Clyde. With Shipyard Gin, every sip is a journey through history, a taste of the past, and a toast to the future.

    I gave this as a gift and was very well received. Not been opened yet as keeping it for Christmas!

  6. Anonymous (store manager) –

    Honestly the best gin I have tried in a long long time. I am super fussy when it comes to gin and this is now my go to favourite. Must try for anyone!

  7. Peter S. (verified owner) –

    We recently bought three more bottles of Shipyard Gin because we enjoyed our first purchase so much. We find that some clementine segments with lots of ice enhance it. We’ve also enjoyed it with plain Fever Tree tonic but Clementine tonic is quite special. We’d be interested to hear other people’s cocktails with Shipyard Gin…. what about a periodic newsletter with recipes? I should also mention the excellent packaging… ours made it just fine all the way to The West Country in England.

    Lovely gin! I’m not a fan of the vast numbers of flavoured gins on the shelves these days so Shipyard Gin is just perfect for me. It’s nice and smooth, the bottle is gorgeous and the delivery service is always very efficient. Happy to support a local business with a great product.
