SALES of an artisan gin are raising cash to conserve the precious ancient pine trees whose needles give it flavour.
Loch Arkaig pine forest near Spean Bridge was recently bought in a partnership between the Woodland Trust and community group Arkaig Community Forest.
Now distiller ‘The Gin Bothy’ is infusing its ‘bothy Original’ with Arkaig pine needles and donating £1 a bottle to help conserve and regenerate the forest.
