Porter's Gin

Porter's Gin is a Scottish micro-distillery based in Aberdeen that specializes in cold-distilled gin using innovative vacuum still technology. Founded in 2012 by Alex, Ben, and Josh, the company operates from the basement of its own cocktail bar, Langstane Liquor Company, combining craft spirits production with on-site hospitality. The distillery pioneered the use of vacuum distillation in the UK, a low-temperature process that preserves delicate botanical flavours without heat damage—a technique developed in consultation with Aberdeen University scientists.

This proprietary method sets Porter's Gin apart from traditional pot-distilled spirits, allowing the team to create refined, juniper-forward gin recipes that balance contemporary innovation with classic distilling traditions. All gins are produced from 100% British spirit and incorporate cold-distilled botanicals to achieve a distinctive light, natural flavour profile. The company has gained significant industry recognition, including a Double Gold medal at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

With a lean team of three and a commitment to quality over scale, Porter's Gin serves consumers seeking premium, botanically complex gins with a focus on flavour integrity. The micro-distillery offers tours and welcomes visitors to its Aberdeen location.
