Welcome to Pickering's Gin
We believe in creating spectacular Scottish Gins. Our distillery is based in the heart of Edinburgh, where we hand-craft and hand-bottle Pickering's Gin in our hand-built distillery. You can see a theme here... as our founders have always said, "If you can't find what you want, make it yourself" and that's what we've done since 2014.
Pickering’s Gin is based on an original Bombay recipe, dating from 17 July 1947. Kept as a family secret for over 66 years, it only resurfaced when we began distilling at Summerhall in Edinburgh.
Before our distillery was our distillery, it used to be the kennels for The Royal Dick Vet School. Matt and Marcus converted the space and built our distillery by hand! It became the first exclusive gin distillery in Edinburgh in over 150 years.

Pickering's Gin
Pickering's Gin is based on an old Bombay recipe, handwritten on a fragment of paper dated 17 July 1947. Fresh, light and bold flavours of citrus and juniper give way to intense warming spice of cardamom, coriander seed and clove.
-
Pickering's Original 1947 Gin
This edition is made precisely to our original recipe, as it was written down in Mount Mary, Bombay, in 1947. Here, the botanical mix includes cinnamon, which adds a decidedly warming and spicy kick to the spirit.
-
Pickering's Navy Strength Gin
Given the strength of this Gin, it makes for a powerful G&T, a delicious martini or stands up very well in most classic Gin cocktails. Bottled at 57.1% for a pinch more punch.

Pickering's Gin with Scottish Botanicals
Our tartan-clad Pickering's Gin with Scottish Botanicals is distilled with four indigenous Scottish botanicals- heather, milk thistle, bog myrtle and Scots Pine which lend sweet, earthy and floral notes to our Bombay recipe, for a smooth and stirring spirit.
