A GLASGOW hospice is selling its own gin to raise vital funds for people living with life-limiting and terminal illness.

Bargacree Gin will be on sale at the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Bellahouston Park for two weeks, from September 27 until October 10.

A special tasting event is taking place at the hospice on Thursday, September 29, where guests will hear more about how a team from the hospice worked with McLeans Gin in Strathaven to create the bespoke product.

Rhona Baillie, Chief Executive of The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice said: “We know from hosting events, such as our hugely popular Gin and Jammies, that there is a real market out there for classic hand-crafted gin. We have been involved every step of the way, from tasting samples to choosing the botanicals – some which have been locally foraged, to helping with some bottling of the product.

“It’s certainly been a learning curve for us as we continue in our mission of finding new and innovate ways of raising vital funds for the hospice.”

Colin McLean, of McLeans Gin, said: “I take real pride in my work creating my own gins, but being asked to produce Bargacree gin, knowing that its success will go towards helping patients in the hospice, was such an honour. I poured my heart and soul into making something truly outstanding.”
