Lussa Gin

In 2016, three local Jura women — Claire Fletcher, Georgina Kitching and Alicia MacInnes - made their first batch of Lussa Gin in Jim, the original still. As the popularity of their gin spread and Jim became too small, the increased production now required happens in Hamish, a copper still with a capacity of 200 litres. But they use exactly the same method, by filling the still with a mixture of spring water and ethanol and adding the robust botanicals; the more tender ones are added to the mix in a copper pot at the top of the still.
