Downpour GinDrenched in island flavour Say hello to Downpour Scottish Dry Gin. Citrus, spice and blossoms of wild Hebridean heather. Our special Scottish Gin is bursting with botanicals, drenching you in big bold flavours you can taste in every drop. Also available in Pink Grapefruit and Sloe and Bramble editions, in our custom designed, environmentally friendly bottle. Nunton Steadings Built way back in the 1700s, the beautifully historic Nunton Steadings building is the place we call home. Situated in Benbecula, right at the heart of island life, it’s where we proudly bring Whisky production back to our islands. Currently under restorations work, our B-listed building is undergoing some loving attention to bring it back to bustling island life.

Jan 25,2025I ordered 2 boxes of Downpour minis in view of a very special Christmas lunch. The bottles travelled in their beautiful, and safely packed, boxes to Umbria in Italy. Fifteen people started enquiring, intrigued by the little minis scattered around the table on Christmas day...but nothing came out of my mouth. While the little colourful bottles of Downpour shined and sat patiently throughout the scrumptious meal, I made sure to keep their secret safe a little longer. Finally, after the last dessert bite had gone down, a presentation of the delicious Downpour collection began and the tasting of the minis officially started. Needless to say it was a great success with questions over the gin itself and various clumsy attempts to steal the bottles! Ah what a joy, thanks for your presence on Christmas day, it was a real pleasure to the palate, we should do it again soon!!

Jan 01,2025Downpour is the best tasting gin. I buy it every time I want to send a gift and the free postage is a major factor.

Dec 06,2024I ordered a set of miniatures as a gift. They arrived in excellent condition, handled with much care - could easily gift them in the packaging they arrived in. Personalised note from customer service was a lovely touch. I can’t wait to gift them, thank you!

Dec 01,2024The Sloe and Bramble Gin is simply delicious, our first try from this new business… we have just ordered Christmas Crackers with little bottles inside, a brilliant idea… The parcels arrived promptly, beautifully packed and protected to avoid potential damage in transit. If you haven’t tried this wonderful source from a wild and windy Scottish isle I would certainly add it to your to do list. I thoroughly recommend them.

Nov 21,2024Fabulous Grapefruit gin. I can’t drink any other now! I’ve been buying this since 2021 when we visited the distillery. Delivery is swift, I love the bottles (they’re on my windowsill) and the newsletter brings a blast of Hebridean air to my home.
