The Collector Scottish Gin

STEWART BREWING LIMITED

£37.5

The Collector Gin is based on George Forrest (1873-1932) . He was a plant hunter and lived locally in Loanhead , walking daily to the Royal Botanic Gardens . Over 28 years, Forrest led seven bold expeditions to the exotics of Yunnan, China, to discover and collect new plants. Though these trips were dangerous, they became heroic tales of bravery and adventure. Forrest brought back over 30,000 specimens, hundreds of which are still in cultivation today and flourish in many gardens. The Collector pays homage to Forrest’s life and legacy. His story is incredible and interesting so worth a read ht

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as STEWART BREWING LIMITED, number SC261791. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
