Limited-edition Broughty Ferry Gin unveiled early to help local foodbank

A local spirits company have pushed forward the launch of Broughty Ferry Gin to help a struggling foodbank.

The gin was due to be unveiled in July to coincide with the Fisherman’s Beer Festival, with a percentage of profits going towards Broughty Ferry Lifeboat Station.

But Toll House Spirits, renowned for Redcastle gin and rum, will release 100 limited edition bottles to help struggling families.

The pink gin, inspired by blossom trees in Dawson Park and distilled using locally grown raspberries, will cost ÂŁ30 per bottle and ÂŁ5 will be donated to Broughty Ferry foodbank with every purchase.

The gin is expected to be on sale from as early as Monday, after the company teamed up with local stores.

Local illustrator Molly McCammon created the logo design ahead of the special release.

The beer festival has been rescheduled for 2021 and Toll House Spirits have pledged to honour their support once the limited edition bottles are sold.

The RNLI would have received ÂŁ1 for every bottle sold under the sponsorship.

Despite being an Angus-based company, Fiona Walsh and her sister Angela Jarron, who run the company with Fiona’s husband John, have spent their whole life in Broughty Ferry and wanted to give back to the community by pairing with local charities.

Co-director Fiona said: “We have got such a vibrant social community and it was strange that there was no products that were for Broughty Ferry.

“We wanted to do something for our hometown and with the foodbanks we know how quickly families can find themselves in difficult financial situations.

“A lot of families around here are finding themselves going from being employed to suddenly having the rug pulled from under their feet.

“The foodbank is offering immediate help but in order for them to keep on doing that they need support too.

“We contacted the lifeboat charity to check if they would be okay with us releasing a first batch to give an immediate boost for the local foodbank and they have been great.”
