WE CREATE OWN BRANDED GIN FOR SONAS HOTELS
We have distilled and branded for the Sonas Hotel collection its own bespoke gin for guests to purchase or enjoy during their visit to Scotland’s picturesque west coast.
Sonas Collection, which has hotels in Oban and Skye, has worked with us to carefully craft a distinctive gin inspired by the beautiful landscape surrounding the hotels.
Bottled at 43%, in 70cl and miniature version, a sip of Sonas Gin features heavy notes of juniper with key botanicals including apple, blackcurrant, hawthorn berries, meadowsweet flower and clover flower taken from the group’s Duisdale House Hotel garden, alongside sea kelp and sea lettuce harvested from the shores of Skeabost Hotel.
Available in all four of Sonas’ hotels from June 2024 onwards, this handcrafted gin offers a unique taste experience within the hotels and available for purchase to take home; a small piece of the misty isle to enjoy again and again.
Andreas Maszczyk, Group General Manager for Sonas, said:
We have wanted to create our own gin for guests to enjoy for a long time, and jumped at the opportunity to work with our island neighbours at Isle of Skye Distillers, known for their exceptional quality spirits. The gin will offer our guests a truly unique taste of Sonas, with botanicals picked from our gardens and shorelines on Skye. We’re delighted to be serving the gin in all four of our venues from this month onwards: Duisdale, Skeabost and Toravaig on Skye, and Knipoch House Hotel in Oban.”
Alistair Wilson, Co-founder of Isle of Skye Distillers, said:
“The Sonas group of hotels on the Isle of Skye have supported our family gin distillery since day one. It has been a pleasure to create a gin unique for the group. We even hand-picked the botanicals from the Duisdale Hotel garden on the Isle of Skye and crafted those into this unique gin. We hope that guests savour a unique flavour of Skye in every glass!”
Over 20 years since founding the Sonas Collection with her late husband Ken, Anne continues to lead the hospitality group with an unwavering passion for Highland hospitality, as evidenced by the groups continued growth and success.
