Glaswegin was founded by Paul Tait, a premium gin brand launched in 2019, based in Glasgow, Scotland. It’s known for its minimalist design, urban roots, and unique flavor profile that resonates with gin enthusiasts. This case study examines how Glaswegin carved out a niche in the crowded craft gin market, highlighting its marketing strategy, brand identity, product innovation, and overall growth.
The distilleries flavor is distinct, blending traditional botanicals with a modern twist. The gin features eight botanicals, including juniper, milk thistle (a nod to its Scottish heritage), orange flower, and pink peppercorns. This combination results in a smooth gin with a subtle floral character and a hint of spice, making it versatile and well-suited for a variety of cocktails.
Glaswegin won several industry awards, including a Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and recognition in the Scottish Gin Awards. These accolades helped build credibility and visibility in an ever-crowded market.
Sustainability & Refill pouches
Glaswegin is committed to sustainability and has made eco-friendly practices a key part of its production. The brand uses fully recyclable materials for its simple, modern bottle, helping to reduce its environmental impact. Glaswegin also carefully sources its botanicals and works to minimize waste during the distillation process. By focusing on sustainability, the brand meets the increasing demand for environmentally friendly products, showing that it cares about both the quality of its gin and the planet.
Glaswegin offers refill pouches as an environmentally conscious alternative to purchasing new bottles. These 70cl pouches allow customers to refill their original Glaswegin bottles, reducing waste and carbon emissions. The pouches themselves are designed to be recyclable, and Glaswegin encourages customers to recycle them at designated collection points found across the UK, including at major supermarkets. The refill option not only helps in cutting down on glass production and transportation costs but also supports their broader sustainability efforts
