Ben Lomond Gin
Ben Lomond Gin
The Scottish Craft Gin market continues to grow rapidly. Many of the products are named after the beautiful places they are made in, such as Harris Gin and Arran Gin; other excellent examples include Rock Rose from Dunnet near Thurso and Misty Isle from Skye.
Within the National Park, we have Falls of Dochart Gin, Arrochar Alps and Sonsie Gin. Now there is a new gin named after Ben Lomond. Loch Lomond Distillery produces Ben Lomond Gin in Alexandria. There’s some tough competition in this sector, but Ben Lomond Gin is a strong contender.
Here are the stockists of Ben Lomond Gin, many of which are in the National Park, MacMillan Wines, Callander, The Green Welly Stop, Tyndrum, Royal Mile Whiskies, Edinburgh, Luss Village Store, Woodwinters, Good Spirits Co. The Grail, Doune and Ellie’s Cellar, Helensburgh
The packing is very nice, explaining that some of the berries used in the gin have foraged from the National Park. It is a classic dry gin, with the berries proving a distinctive but subtle flavour.
If you do want to taste it whilst visiting Loch Lomond & Trossachs, it is served in the bar of the Oak Tree Inn, Balmaha. Ben Lomond Gin is supporting the work of the John Muir Trust.
More Flavours
Ben Lomond Gin has added two new infused flavour 50cl bottles. They are Blackberry & Gooseberry and Raspberry & Elderflower.

We took our bottle out onto the loch at sunset to photograph in front of the mountain it is named after.
