SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM
OUR WAY OF DOING THINGS.
CRAFTED WITH PURPOSE. NEVER JUST FOR SHOW.
At Old Poison, we believe making great spirits is about more than following a recipe. It's about understanding ingredients, respecting their character and having the curiosity to explore what they can become.
From our micro distillery in the heart of Leith, we bring together traditional spirit making techniques and modern technology.
Our rotary evaporator, known as a rotavapor, allows us to work with delicate botanicals and explore flavours and aromas that can be difficult to capture through conventional distillation.
We believe innovation should have a purpose.
Every ingredient, every technique and every experiment should contribute something meaningful to the final spirit.
ROOTED IN LEITH. SHAPED BY THE COAST.
Leith isn't just where we make our spirits. It's part of what inspires them.
From sea buckthorn and scurvy grass to locally sourced seaweed, Scotland's coastal botanicals bring distinctive flavours, aromas and character to our spirits.
Some of these ingredients we forage ourselves; others come from local Scottish suppliers who share our appreciation for quality and provenance. It's a hands-on approach that keeps us connected to the landscape and the ingredients we work with.
Back at our micro distillery in Leith, we combine these botanicals with traditional techniques and modern equipment, including our rotary evaporator. This allows us to explore delicate aromas and create distinctive flavour combinations.
Our philosophy is about making thoughtful choices, respecting our ingredients and continually improving how we work. We believe sustainability is an ongoing commitment, not simply a label.
Inspired by Italian aperitivo culture and shaped by Scotland's coastline, our spirits bring together two places with very different personalities.
WILD SCOTTISH BOTANICALS. ITALIAN INSPIRATION. LEITH ATTITUDE.
