SPIRIT OF INNOVATION
DOUGLAS LAING, INDEPENDENT BLENDERS, BOTTLERS AND DISTILLERS, HAS BEEN A RENOWNED NAME IN THE WHISKY INDUSTRY SINCE 1948. WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO CRAFT, WE HAVE BUILT A REPUTATION FOR CONSISTENTLY EXCEPTIONAL SPIRITS.
THE ADDITION OF STRATHEARN DISTILLERY IN THE HIGHLANDS MARKED A DEFINING MOMENT, ALLOWING US TO TAKE A HANDS-ON APPROACH TO DISTILLATION. AS PURVEYORS OF FINE SPIRITS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THE TEASMITH GIN WAS A NATURAL FIT.
IN 2025, WE PROUDLY REINTRODUCE THE TEASMITH GIN, CAREFULLY DISTILLED AT STRATHEARN AND SHAPED BY DOUGLAS LAING’S PASSION, INNOVATION, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
INSPIRED BY LEGACY
OUR TEASMITH GIN STORY BEGINS WITH JAMES TAYLOR, AN ENTERPRISING SCOT FROM ABERDEENSHIRE WHO, IN 1867, PLANTED CEYLON’S FIRST COMMERCIAL TEA PLANTATION. HIS PIONEERING EFFORTS SHAPED SRI LANKA’S TEA INDUSTRY, EARNING HIM THE TITLE ‘FATHER OF CEYLON TEA.’
INSPIRED BY TAYLOR’S LEGACY, TEASMITH GIN FEATURES A SPECIFIC SRI LANKAN TEA AS A KEY BOTANICAL IN ITS MAKE UP. GROWN ON THE AMBA ESTATE, OUR TEA LEAVES ARE HAND-PICKED AND HAND-ROLLED IN THE SAME WAY TAYLOR PRODUCED THE VERY FIRST BATCHES OF TEA MORE THAN 150 YEARS AGO, BRINGING HISTORY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP TOGETHER IN EVERY BOTTLE.
TRADITIONALLY DISTILLED
CRAFTED IN SMALL BATCHES, TEASMITH GIN IS A TRIBUTE TO TIME-HONOURED DISTILLATION TECHNIQUES. AT OUR HIGHLAND DISTILLERY, WE USE TRADITIONAL COPPER ALEMBIC STILLS IN A METICULOUS TWO-STAGE PROCESS. THE FIRST STAGE DISTILS TEA LEAVES, GENTLY HEATED AFTER STEEPING IN ALCOHOL TO EXTRACT COMPLEX FLAVOURS. THIS CREATES A PROFILE RICH IN VANILLA, SOFT ORANGE SWEETNESS, AND EXOTIC SPICE.
THE SECOND STAGE INTRODUCES A CAREFULLY SELECTED BLEND OF CLASSIC BOTANICALS. JUNIPER BERRIES, LIQUORICE ROOT, ORANGE PEEL, CORIANDER, ANGELICA ROOT, AND GRAINS OF PARADISE INFUSE THEIR FLAVOURS DURING THE DELICATE DISTILLATION, DELIVERING TEASMITH GIN’S REFINED, BALANCED CHARACTER.
SUPPORTING OUR HERITAGE
THE TEASMITH GIN IS INSPIRED BY PURPOSE, HONOURING THE HARD WORK BEHIND OUR UNIQUE TEA-INFUSED FLAVOUR. WE PROUDLY GIVE BACK TO SRI LANKAN TEA PLANTATIONS, SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITIES THAT MAKE OUR GIN POSSIBLE.
AS A CHARITABLE PARTNER, TEASMITH WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE TEA PEOPLE TO FUND AND SUPPORT SPECIFIC, IMPACT-LED PROJECTS WITHIN THE TEA-GROWING REGIONS OF SRI LANKA. THIS PARTNERSHIP IS BUILT ON A SHARED MISSION TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE.
