Persie Dog Gins

We have chosen Perthshire Abandoned Dogs Society (PADS) as a dedicated charity partner and are committed to raising funds to rehome unwanted dogs through a series of ‘dog gins’ – where the breed is reflected in the gin! For every bottle sold, £1 is donated to PADS.

Labrador Gin

Like the breed, Labrador Gin is traditional, mellow, soft in the mouth and warming. It is fresh and playful up front, then soft and warming once it settles.

What makes the gin traditional is bags of juniper on the nose. What makes it soft and warming is cardamom and eucalyptus, which rise to the surface once you add tonic.

Suggested serve: light tonic or light lemonade, a slice of lemon and some torn mint.

Spaniel Gin

Like the breed, Spaniel Gin is spirited and spicy but very gentle. This gin has great warmth and intensity with a silky soft coating.

What makes the gin spicy is the use of mace and cinnamon as dominant botanicals, giving a hit of anise. The gentle finish is down to bay leaves.

Suggested serve: full fat tonic or ginger ale, plus a wedge of lime or a gherkin. Or lob in a splash of Big Tom tomato juice and turn it into a Red Snapper.


Dachshund Gin Liqueur

Our Dachshund expression is a lime gin liqueur. Just like the breed, it is the perfect balance of sweet and sharp! Bursting with zest, it has a long body and is best served short.

It is made with hand-pressed limes and oranges; the same fresh fruit which has been zested to make our bestselling Zesty Citrus Gin.

Suggested serve: On the rocks. Or add Champagne! Or greedy people can pour it over pancakes.

Dog Days Gin

In addition to our dog gins family, we also created Dog Days – our cross-breed gin! It has the traditional piny notes of Labrador, the delicate spices of Spaniel, and the fresh and fruity notes of Dachshund! For our suggested serve, try a twist of orange with a cinnamon stick.

Pusscat Vodka

Our friends at Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home run one of the largest animal welfare facilities in Scotland, so we are donating £1 per bottle to help them in their vital work rescuing and rehoming lost, stray and abandoned cats.

Pusscat Vodka is an unflavoured premium vodka at 45% volume and was dubbed ‘the new Grey Goose’ at the World Vodka Awards. It has a clean and round velvety mouthfeel, with faint hints of fresh herbs and a tiny pinch of black pepper. The finish is silky smooth – just like a pusscat!

Suggested serves: neat, straight from the freezer; on the rocks; or with a little tonic or lemonade.

Testimonials

“The highlight of the holiday”

"The highlight of the holiday! We dropped in with five dogs and what a welcome! Not the pretentious approach that some distillers take. We felt like we had popped round to a friend’s house. Definitely worth a visit! A hidden gem in such beautiful Scottish countryside."

“I guarantee you will enjoy your time at Persie”

"Had a group of 35 at the distillery for a tour and tasting, and the entire staff rolled out the red carpet for us! What a truly incredible experience! We learned all about the gin-making process and they made that learning fun and enjoyable. And of course we were able to sample the best gin in Scotland! I simply cannot say enough about the friendliness of these folks - we truly felt at home. Even if you are not into gin, I guarantee you will enjoy the experience."

“Great value for money”

"Fantastic experience from booking online to the 'taxi' service given by octogenarian Lillias (what a character!). The gin tasting is great and the actual tour of the still was informative, educational and fun, all thanks to the owners. I cannot recommend this enough. Great value for money and a fabulous way to spend a couple of hours with friends."

“Amazing what they do in such a small space”

"We chose this tour because the general feel of the website was welcoming and friendly and the price was very reasonable in comparison to some of the larger more well-known distilleries. We were not disappointed! It’s amazing what they do in such a small space and the gin is wonderful. I could not recommend the trip more highly. Thoroughly enjoyable and very personal."

“You can really feel the passion”

"Best distillery tour we have done so far. It felt personal, caring and relaxed. The gin tasted amazing and it was great to learn about all the blends with different tonics. You could really feel the passion and love that has gone into every drop. Love that fact that some of the profit goes to animal charities, made it even easier to buy a bottle or three!"

“Perfect thing to do on a sunny day”

"I had always thought of distillery visits as being wet-weather activities - particularly in Scotland! But the sun was shining on this warm spring day so we had a tasting paddle outside. It was glorious. Cracking views and service with a smile. Gin, soft drinks, ice cream, even a Becks Blue for the driver. A day to remember."

“It’s all about your personal palate”

“Probably the most intimate and personal experience at a distillery. You get to chat with the genius and his team who work hard behind this delicious gin. If you are open to drinking spirits there will be something you enjoy! They work hard to find the gin and mixer that's right for your palate."

“My husband and I found this place by chance. We were on holiday in Perthshire looking for dog friendly things to do. It was terrific fun and our four year old daughter was not left out as she thoroughly enjoyed tasting soft drinks and guessing the smells! She really was part of the whole experience. She says she wants to go back next year!"
