King's Hill Scottish Gin

King’s Hill Gin is a bold, hand-crafted Scottish London Dry that captures the spirit of the Pentland Hills. Piney juniper forms the backbone, while locally foraged botanicals – heather, gorse, wild rosehip and elderflower – add depth, smoothness and a floral charm. Distilled in small batches in a traditional copper alembic still, this award-winning gin is as enchanting as the landscape that inspires it, and presented in a stunning bespoke bottle fit for a king.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Fresh and fruity on the nose with lifted juniper. The palate is smooth, full-bodied and aromatic, balancing sweet florals with citrus and pine. A rounded and elegant gin with both depth and delicacy, leading to a long, graceful finish.

Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 2017, King’s Hill is the first release from The Pentland Still. Distilled in a copper still named “Marion”, the gin is crafted in small batches with botanicals carefully foraged from the surrounding Pentland Hills. Its name pays homage to a legendary wager between King Robert the Bruce and Sir William Sinclair of Roslin, capturing both heritage and the spirit of the land in each bottle.

Special Features

King’s Hill embodies true Scottish terroir with locally sourced botanicals, sustainable foraging practices, and meticulous small-batch distillation. Its award-winning bottle design, inspired by the hills themselves, makes it as striking to display as it is to drink.
