In celebration of Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight we contacted the distilling team @isleofcumbraedistillers Read their inspiring story ⬇️ "Take a group of five strangers who met on a Scottish island, share a love of gin and a passion for the island they call home... What do you get? Isle of Cumbrae Distillers 💙 We are Bronwyn, Jenine, Juli, Lynda and Philippa from the Isle of Cumbrae. We’re one of the only all-female distilling teams in Scotland and its only international team coming from the UK, Canada and USA. Since the launch of our gin distillery in September 2020 we’ve produced four delicious craft gins which have collectively won eight prestigious international awards. Our team of five met as strangers two years ago, when we became fast friends and decided to open a gin distillery! We wanted to set up a distillery to help raise funds for our community’s town hall and provide work opportunities and skills to young islanders. From distilling to licensing to branding our products, to social media campaigns, we've done everything on our own, learning new things every step of the way...and loving every moment of the journey. We’ve highlighted the possibility that: ⭐ you can start a business at any age with a good idea (especially opportunities for older women) ⭐ women can be successful in a male-dominated industry ⭐ success is about having a good attitude, a plan, passion and vision We’ve seized an opportunity to use our collective wisdom to create a business that can make a difference to our island community." #ScotlandIsNow #StoriestoSavour #ScotFoodFort22 @scotfooddrink
