Pilgrim's Original Gin

Product Information

Nestled on the Balmungo Estate, overlooking the famous historical town of St. Andrews, Scotland, you’ll discover the home of Pilgrim’s Gin. Premium, small-batch and unique, our handcrafted gins and liqueurs are made with innovation, passion, and care, the Pilgrim’s Way. And Pilgrim’s Gin, which features an original variety and a range of gin liqueurs, is the culmination of his efforts and the company is going from strength to strength. The Pilgrim’s Gin dream Our family home is Balmungo House in St Andrews and on the grounds we actually have a well. The idea was to use the water from the well to make the gin, although sadly we are still going through the cleaning process. The company was set up in October 2017 with our first bottle of original gin going to market on the 18th of April 2018. I am really, really proud of it. We are three years old but I feel like we are two years old because of Covid.” Getting Pilgrim’s Gin out there
