Gin Blue Line: The Scottish Gin With a Cause

Some bottles are just a good drink. Gin Blue Line is a good drink with a purpose. It's our tribute to the emergency services, and every bottle helps fund mental health support for the people who run towards danger while the rest of us run away.

A gin with a reason behind it

Gin Blue Line gives 20% of profits to mental health charities that support emergency service personnel living with PTSD. The blue-light services carry a heavy load, and the toll it takes is often invisible. This is a small way to help, poured into a proper bottle of gin and sealed with a hand-dipped blue wax for the blue light services. It makes a genuinely meaningful gift for anyone in the emergency services, anyone who loves them, or anyone who simply wants a gin that gives something back.

How it tastes

The cause is the heart of it, but the gin has to stand on its own too, and it does. Gin Blue Line is a crisp, juniper-forward classic, distilled at the Old Smiddy beneath Stirling Castle.

  • Nose: clean juniper, lemon zest and a subtle floral note
  • Palate: crisp, classic and balanced
  • Finish: dry, clean and long

At 40% ABV, it's the sort of no-nonsense gin that makes a faultless gin and tonic.

How to serve it

Keep it simple, because it doesn't need dressing up: pour it over plenty of ice with Fever-Tree Naturally Light tonic and a slice of lemon. Simple. Proper. Good.

Where it sits in the range

Gin Blue Line sits alongside the rest of our gins as the one with a cause built in. If you're exploring the range, our flagship Stirling Gin leads on wild nettles, while Battle Strength brings the boldness. Browse them all in the Stirling gin range.
