Scottish Kings is distilled in small batches on a rural Highland farm using quality botanicals and the famously pure waters of Scotland. The founder, Randy Miller, is a career journalist from Boulder, Colorado, and formed Scottish Kings with one mission in mind: To create the most desirable gin in history while uniting those who value uncompromising quality, exquisite taste, and a gin as unique as its birthplace.

"Just like the sensibilities of the farm-to-table movement in the U.S.A., Scottish Kings is created on a small farm in the remote Scottish Highlands where the air comes off the Arctic Circle and the water is clean and pure," said Miller.

"The environment has a huge impact on the final product. After three years spent in recipe development, with a selection of unique botanicals (like basil and rose petal) and the use of a small 100 liter still, we got what we wanted – a gin that is pure and smooth with a balanced flavor profile.

"Many gins today are trying to be unique by being 'forward something'. Scottish Kings is the ultimate classic gin that is rooted in London Dry tradition but with the advantages of hand-crafted processes in the remote Highlands. That's why we call it Highland Dry."

"I've had tastings with hundreds of people, and not one has said anything except 'this is incredible,'" Miller said. "I'm confident everyone will love it, when they find it."
