Gin lovers from around the world will be able to live like a Hollywood star following the news that Gin Bothy has made their limited-edition batch, gifted to the top 25 2024 Oscar nominees, available for purchase.
From the Scottish hills to the Hollywood hills, the award winning gin takes the stage at the 96th Oscars this Sunday as Gin Bothy has been selected to feature in the coveted $125,000 "Everyone Wins" nominee gift bags given to stars including Martin Scorsese, Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling.
A small, exclusive batch was originally distilled by the Angus based producer for the Oscar nominees, with bottles numbered 1-25 allocated for the Hollywood superstars. Gin Bothy founder Kim Cameron has made the decision to release the remainder of the 300 bottle batch, derived using Scottish heather and Scots’ pine and rosemary, for purchase.
Gin Bothy founder, Kim Cameron who became an ‘accidental gin-maker’ after discovering her talent whilst making jam in her bothy kitchen in Angus village Glamis in 2015, said, "This is not just a celebration for Hollywood; it's an invitation for everyone to experience the glamour and taste of the Oscars. Rather than hold onto the remainder of this unique batch we decided to make them available for anyone to buy. The Oscars are one of the biggest events in the world and so being able to bring a piece of that to our customers is really exciting.”
“For those who are staying up to watch the Oscars they can now be part of the glamour and excitement surrounding Hollywood's biggest night replicating the glitz with our film inspired cocktails including Nominee’s Negroni, Fit for a Star Martini and It’s Show Thyme.”
The Oscar gift bags, curated by Distinctive Assets, are renowned for their opulence and have historically been bestowed upon luminaries such as Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Steven Spielberg.
There are around 60 items in each bag that have, in the past, included plots of land in Australia and Scotland, and luxury stays in an ancient Scottish castle and a sprawling 10-acre property in Canada.
Gin Bothy are continually expanding their product range with an ambitious vision for future growth in the UK and with a firm eye on the American market. They offer Bothy Butter, Jam Bothy, Rum Bothy and their scaleable lifestyle spirits brand Hipflask.
The exclusive bottles are available in-store at the The Gin Bothy’s Glamis and Forfar Bothy stores and online at https://www.ginbothy.co.uk.
