HANDMADE in Britain is delighted to announce a brand new partnership with Wild Island Botanic Gin.
Conceived on the Isle of Colonsay in the Southern Hebrides, Wild Island Botanic Gin infuses botanicals from the island with 100 per cent British wheat spirit, to create a premium gin of the highest quality.
Using a total of 16 botanicals and distilled using the traditional single copper pot still method, the distillers have created a drink with a refreshing lemon base, pronounced further by a diverse array of leaves and flowers – including lemon balm – hand foraged on the island and selected to deliver a gentle floral, citrus fresh character.
As our exclusive spirit sponsor, Wild Island Botanic Gin will be served by Handmade in Britain at private-view events for Sculpt at Kew, Handmade at Kew, Handmade Edinburgh and Handmade in Britain at Chelsea Old Town Hall, both in the signature lemon-mint G&T and in cocktails.
Creative Director of Handmade in Britain, Piyush Suri, said: “Inspired by Kiloran Bay on Colonsay, the intricate artwork is hand applied and kiln fired on to the glass, demonstrating what a great fit this partnership is for Handmade in Britain. We look forward to working together on our upcoming craft and design events.”
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
