Pickering's Gin

Co-founded by Marcus Pickering and Matt Gammell in 2013, Pickering’s Gin is based on an original Bombay recipe dating from 1947. Distilled, bottled, labelled and waxed from the former kennels of Edinburgh’s old Royal (Dick) Veterinary School, the building now houses Summerhall, an independent arts village. Their distillery was the first to be established in Edinburgh for over 150 years.

Pickering’s gin baubles were introduced by the company in 2014 - the original gin baubles on the market.

The Gin baubles have attracted attention from Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, Amanda Holden, Joe Wicks, Binky Felstead and even the US TV chef Martha Stewart.

The gin baubles have become a staple of Pickering’s Gin’s offering and are produced using custom-built machinery year-round at the central Edinburgh distillery.

This year, Pickering’s Gin have partnered with Re-engage and proceeds from the sale of every bauble of Pickering’s Brussels sprout gin will going to their Community Christmas campaign.

Through Community Christmas over 700 local events are held up and down the county over the festive season, to help ensure that no older person is alone during the festive season.
