Gin Bothy founder Kim Cameron has today (November 28th 2024) unveiled an exciting new chapter for the Bothy Brand with the launch of Gunshot Scotch Whisky Liqueur and Gunshot Blended Scotch Whisky (Aged 8 Years). The news comes alongside the unveiling of plans for the creation of one of Scotland’s most remote distilleries.

Available from today the Gunshot Whisky range will be sold directly from the Bothy in Glamis, the Bothy Larder in Forfar, online, and in select Scottish Stockists.

The Bothy Distillery, scheduled to begin operations in spring 2025, occupies an extraordinary location in Glen Prosen on land owned by Forestry and Land Scotland. Adjacent to the King’s estate it is surrounded by the old whisky smuggling and historic drovers’ path to Braemar, the distillery is embraced by the Munro twins Driesh and Mayar.

Founded by Kim Cameron in 2015, Gin Bothy renowned for crafting premium spirits using traditional methods and local ingredients has grown into one of Scotland’s leading drinks producers, with over 70,000 units sold annually worldwide.

In keeping with their reputation for commitment to sustainable practices, the distillery will be one of the most environmentally conscious in Scotland, powered by hydroelectricity with sustainable waste removal processes.

Kim Cameron, Founder of Bothy Trading Founder, said: “I grew up in the Glen neighbouring Glen Prosen and so I know how special the areas is. With just one road in and one road out this remote location is one of a kind. Its seclusion and natural beauty provide the perfect backdrop for crafting spirits that truly capture the essence of Scotland, while allowing us to champion sustainability and preserve the landscape for future generations.

“Everything about the Glen and the Distillery is in synergy with our Bothy values of history and heritage, respecting nature’s calendar with a focus on seasonality and sustainability – the botanicals for our gin are foraged in the Angus hills, and our whisky uses locally grown barley.”
