Summerhall Distillery is now the exclusive distiller of Aldi\u2019s Toradh Gin, becoming the latest Scottish food and drink producer to secure a new listing with Aldi Scotland.<\/p>\n

The Edinburgh-based distiller, most famous for crafting Pickering\u2019s Gin, has been announced as the retailer\u2019s newest gin producer and will now be responsible for creating its expertly crafted, Scottish-made Toradh Gin range.<\/p>\n

Summerhall Distillery was the first new distillery to be built in Edinburgh in 150 years when it was established in 2013. \u00a0The quirky and creative distillery, located in the old dog kennels at the Old Royal Vet School, now crafts thousands of litres of gin every year, including its classic Pickering\u2019s Gin famously inspired by a handwritten Bombay recipe from 1947.<\/p>\n

The distillery will now take on the exclusive distilling of Aldi\u2019s famous Toradh Gin range, bringing six innovative flavours to shelves on all 109 Aldi stores.<\/p>\n

The smooth and delightful gin is at the heart of Aldi\u2019s premium spirits range, offering exceptional alcoholic drinks at fantastically low prices, with a 50cl of Toradh Original costing just \u00a313.99.<\/p>\n

Graham Nicolson, Group Buying Director, at Aldi Scotland said: \u201cBuilding on our rich distilling heritage in Scotch whisky, Scotland is now at the forefront of gin production. With more than 90 gin distillers in Scotland, ranging from niche handcrafted blends to major producers exporting globally, Scotland has a unique role in serving the world\u2019s gin aficionados.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSummerhall Distillery is an excellent example of a success story in Scotland\u2019s food and drink sector. It was at the cusp of the gin boom in the UK, becoming the first distillery in the capital in over a 150 years, before being joined by many other peers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIts commitment to quality, well-crafted spirits has led to a diverse portfolio of gin, whisky, vodka and rum, which are cherished worldwide. We\u2019re incredibly proud to partner with such a respected Scottish distiller, known for its innovation and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking alongside Summerhall Distillery, we will continue to serve fantastic Scottish products at our famously low Aldi prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Gammell co-founder of Summerhall Distillery, said: \u201cWe\u2019re absolutely thrilled to be working with Aldi Scotland as part of its commitment to championing local producers. As one of Edinburgh\u2019s earliest gin distilleries in recent years, we\u2019ve watched the industry flourish and are proud to be part of such a dynamic Scottish drinks scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re especially proud to see the Torradh\u00a0Gin range now available to Aldi customers. This is a collection that celebrates the warmth of the Scottish spirit, both in character and in craft. Our shared values of quality, authenticity and a passion for great flavour make this a natural partnership, and we\u2019re excited to see where it leads as we continue to grow this range and bring innovative, handcrafted spirits to new audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
