The Bothy Experience, Glamis, was opened by The Gin Bothy in 2018, as a way for visitors and gin lovers to try the range while finding out more about the company’s history.

It has been extremely popular with visitors around the world coming to sample the local spirits and liqueurs while creating their own perfect serve in the cosy, rustic bothy rooms.

Kim Cameron, founder of the Gin Bothy, said: “Naturally we had to close the Bothy Experience during Covid-19 from March 2020.  We were able to reopen for a few months from July to October last year and then we reopened fully in May 2021.

“The experience like a bothy is free to explore, with the Bothy Beginnings room taking customers through the Gin Bothy journey while the Bothy Tales room tells the story of Scottish Bothies.”

Tasting and events can be booked in advance and private tastings are also available.

Kim added: “We’ve always had an excellent response from customers keen to come and enjoy the experience while they catch up with family or friends.

“The feedback we’re getting is that people want to get out and about as much as possible, taking part in a shared activity in a different environment rather than in each other’s homes.

“This has certainly been demonstrated in the popularity of our festive bookings, available on the Gin Bothy website now for November and December.”
