Aberdeen now has its own gin in the shape of Porter’s Gin. This the first gin to be distilled in Aberdeen for over 100 years, and was created by a team of licensed trade professionals Ben Iravani, Josh Rennie and Alex Lawrence, who trade under the name from the Langstane Liquor Company. It is named after Professor Andrew Porter from Aberdeen University, who sourced their distillation equipment. Says Ben Iravani, “Our whole production method is based on creating a unique but bold flavour for mixing drinks, and we put a lot of hard work into balancing the modern and traditional elements of the gin. We also use only 100% British grain wheat alcohol and certified ethically sourced botanicals. This all results in a world class product.
