NEW Scottish craft distiller LoneWolf has officially launched with its first batch of gin and vodka from its Aberdeenshire distillery.
Backed by craft brewery BrewDog, LoneWolf features the world’s only triple-bubble still and the tallest rectification column of any craft distiller in Europe, at 18 metres tall.
Doug Bairner, managing director of LoneWolf spirits said: “LoneWolf is an apt name for a brand that stands alone in the industry as a custodian of purist, truthful production methods. Our new purpose-built facility takes craft distillation to new levels. The huge amount of copper contact that our stills and columns give to our spirit delivers unparalleled quality.”
LoneWolf distillery manages every aspect of its spirit production on-site – including the distillation of its base spirit – from its unique distillery situated in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. Using bespoke copper stills designed by LoneWolf’s head distiller, the base spirit has been fine tuned to provide the perfect foundation for the brand’s gin and vodka varieties.
Bairnier said: “To create a spirit that is pure of bloodline, you need to truly start from scratch, so LoneWolf Vodka and LoneWolf Gin is created entirely under one roof. Every stage is owned and crafted in our Scottish distillery.”
Even LoneWolf’s packaging is unique. The label is attached with a silicon band, in a nod to moonshine gin producers, with 12 different versions of the label available each conveying a different aspect of the LoneWolf attitude.
LoneWolf Vodka and Gin will be stocked by BrewDog’s online shop.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
