// Scottish Rice Wines // So, after ~ 2 years, we finally launched our rice wine series with @thekojikitchen down at @biscuitfactoryedin last weekend. When you’ve been talking about a (fairly rogue) product for so long it can be quite nerve racking to get it out in the open. The response blew us away quite frankly! To all those who bought bottles, took samples away to respective bars & retailers, and of course to those who were drinking it on the day (with tonic, G&T or cocktails) - we want to say a massive THANK YOU! Now - the next steps. This product is not being sold in our Webshop, it is on reserve for the on/off-trade whilst we figure out the next batch, stockists etc. Last weekend proved what an ultra-flexible flavour profile the rice wine has & we want to develop as many use cases as possible - this means working with the industry (bars, restaurants, shops) to experiment with more pairings. If you are in the industry & are at all intrigued by the Buckie Rice wine - please get in touch (Instagram, emails, however). #ricewine #scottish

Buckfast Rice Wine After 8 months of fermenting, the first instalment of our rice wine series with @thekojikitchen is rounding into form. The flavour profile on this thing is mad. Big, punchy, sweetness from the sugars in the buckfast - almost like an aged tawny port - with an umami spine that leaves the mouth salivating for more. We’re planning on a few very small runs of these experimental bottlings over the next couple of months - trying to figure out the best ferment time between 8 - 10 months. In the meantime, recipe development with cocktails and gastronomy is the game. Hit us up if this has your spidey-senses tingling and you want a slice!! Also: more flavours are in the pipeline 🫡
Tasting event @inn_hop on Sunday was great fun! @alison_taffs invited us along to take part in their Scottish gin tasting in their wonderful sample room at the Hop Inn - one of the best micro pubs the Uk has to offer 🤘 We talked all things gin with a spotlight put on Precision Spirits, our story & production methods. We took along our LDN Dry, Tartan Juice and served our basil + watermelon smash. Along with 6 other products there was certainly a good whack of gin for us to get through!! It was a pleasure to be showcased alongside some of the best gins in the industry & I was even able to sneak on of my favourites - @sweetdram escubac - into the lineup to provide something a bit different for the guests. This obviously went down a treat as well! Thanks to everyone that came along & hopefully we’ll be back again soon 😎
We had a great night at our Scottish Gin Tasting with the wonderfully knowledgeable and passionate Guy from @precisionspirits. We tasted a range of innovative and interesting gins from north of the border, as well as the Tartan Juice Gin Spritz and Precision Gin LDN. Lots of fun and we’re looking forward to our next tasting in May!
We had a great time at InDrinks Show earlier this month showcasing our gin spritzers & full strength LDN Dry! There was a certainly a buzz around the RTDs and we got so much amazing feedback on the Tartan Juice and Peace Lovin’ Decoy which was very great to hear 🤟 It was nice to get out to a trade event of this magnitude after missing so many when we first launched due to Covid cancellations. It’s cool to see the industry move forward with smaller brands such as ourselves being presented with greater means and access to such events. Of course, congrats to all the other finalists in the InDrinks Catalyst - great to try some new products & meet so many talented producers!! Till next year! 🥂 #InDrinks #tradeshow #scottishgin #readytodrink
Trade show!! Come and see at at @indrinksshow this week in Glasgow as we exhibit our gin spritzers - that's right, the return of Peace Lovin Decoy & Tartan Juice!! 👻 Not only will we be exhibiting on both trade show days - we will also be giving a 'Dragon's Den style' pitch to a panel of industry leaders in a bid to win a coveted mentorship prize, as part of the In-Drinks Catalyst scheme. Very exciting time for us & we're proud to have been selected as one of ten companies to be a part of the Catalyst scheme. Its sure to be a fun couple of days - looking forward to meeting as many folk as possible! ☀️ Register FREE to attend LINK IN BIO
Tartan Juice: it’s been a minute since we first introduced this citric gin spritzer back in Summer 2021! 🏴 Made with three unique components of gin, macerated tonic water and our in-house lemon/lime blend, this is a product that we are really proud of & hope bring back into circulation one day. The original plan - kegs of this stuff - seems like a particularly cracking idea to save everyone on some Deposit Return Scheme admin!! Anyhow, here’s a wee reminder of our Tartan Juice launch & something ti bookmark, as we explore a couple of new opportunities in the RTD space 🗺 #rtd #ginspritz #scottishgin #scottishcocktails
LDN Dry Rice Wine! 🍚 The next phase of our rice wine series leads us to this experiment - a LDN Dry rice wine. Using just steamed rice, our LDN Dry Gin, and @thekojikitchen Koji - we are looking to find a true representation of how these flavours coalesce over the course of a ferment. We think that the final product should showcase a great combination of sweet, salt & acid (lime) with the botanicals from the gin providing a citric, herby backbone. Really excited to see how this turns out, and the forthcoming cocktails & recipes that we can create with the finished project! Now: we wait for ~ 2 months, before pressing and clarifying the liquid 🤟 #ricewine #gin #scottishgin #scottishricewine #koji
Buckfast Rice Wine 🍷 🍚 After first mentioning this a few months back, our ongoing experiment with @thekojikitchen is beginning to take shape! ‘Morag’ - our friendly fermentation vessel, is holding a combination of Steamed rice, Koji Rice & Buckfast. About 3.5 months into the ferment, many of the sugars from the buckfast & rice starch are being broken down by the enzymes in the Koji - the partition layer just above the top grains of rice is where this work is being done. On taste, this batch is currently still leaning to the sweet side & perhaps not with the depth of flavour that ultimately we are looking for. Another couple of months (at least) should see continued progress towards our finished product 🤞 #ricewine #koji #scottishkoji #scottishricewine #mirin #craftwine #kojirice #buckfast
