WILD Thyme Spirits will this month move gin production to its headquarters on Colonsay with the first island batch of Colonsay Gin set to run from the still by the end of May.
Founders of Wild Thyme Spirits, husband and wife Fin and Eileen Geekie, relocated from Oxfordshire to their new home on Colonsay in 2016. After a launch in 2017 and a year crafting small-batch Colonsay Gin with the help of one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries, Strathearn, the pair are now bringing production of Colonsay Gin to the island. To coincide with this, Wild Thyme Spirits has negotiated an agreement with Colonsay Estate to hand-forage botanicals on the island, including access to the grounds of Colonsay House.
