Wild Island Gin

Wild Island comes from the Isle of Colonsay, one of the smaller and more remote islands in the Inner Hebrides off Scotland's west coast. Here, where nature is as wild as the name suggests, botanicals are foraged straight from cliffs and heath. This is gin distilled on the island's own terms - unpolished and authentic.

About Wild Island Gin

Colonsay's isolation means the distillery sources many of its botanicals directly from the island's own nature, giving the gin an unmistakably local character. For newcomers, it's a fresh, herbal gin with a hint of salt sea air; for collectors, one of Scotland's most remote gin projects, made in such limited quantities that every batch feels like a small piece of island history.

History & Background

Colonsay has fewer than 150 permanent residents and sits far from Scotland's better-known whisky and gin destinations, making Wild Island one of the most remote gin projects in the entire country.

Production & Style

Wild botanicals harvested on and around the island are distilled alongside juniper, in a process tailored to capture the Hebrides' raw, salty nature.

Signature Style

Wild, Saline, Authentic
A robust, earthy character with a hint of salty sea air, reflecting the island's exposed position in the Atlantic.
