The Gin Cooperative

Established by husband and wife Simon and Caroline Ross in early 2019, the Spirit O’Clyde Drinks Company is focused on producing great Scottish Gins and spirits that pay tribute to the area and community where the family have lived for generations, Clydebank. The range of ‘Ar Baile’ Gins, Gaelic for ‘Our Town’, is distilled in Glasgow’s Gorbals and then hand labelled and bottled by the Ross family.

Clydebank is a town located in West Dunbartonshire, on the famous river Clyde. Known for shipbuilding and industry, the area has strong ties to industrial endeavour, innovation and engineering excellence with the shipyards building Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2, famous ships that were used by the British Royal Family. The area underwent a period of redevelopment and preservation and now acts as a tourist attraction and area of local importance.
