We first met Kieren at the Affa Fine Market in Aberdeenshire back in September 2021. It was the first market that Devenick had exhibited at and Kieren could not have been more supportive. He shared his lowdown on which local and national markets would best suit our product offerings as well as what to expect at each one. Us lads being the new kids on the block this caring and sharing attitude was a welcome change to what Bryan (the other half of Devenick Drinks) and myself are used to within the oil industry.
In 2019 Kieren decided to create his own gin liqueur on the back of his love of making alcohol as well as a dream to own his own business. After several months of pulling the necessary paperwork together (coupled with some boozy taste tests I’m sure) he sold his first bottle of Ellon Gin at the Thainstone Christmas Market in December 2019.
Ellon Gin is a family run business based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Kieren runs the business and makes the product whilst his wife Steph deals with the online aspect of the business. Their young son Hamish also contributes by providing them with the giggle factor which I’m sure is a great moral booster, especially on those days when things don’t quite go according to plan.…🤪
Ellon Gin was one of the first suppliers on board at Devenick Drinks and the feedback for their gin liqueurs has been fantastic, and with a busy calendar for 2022 we’re hoping to increase our output of this great product👏🏻
Using the highest premium gin and the best quality fruit, Ellon Gin produce their liqueurs with no chemicals, additives, preservatives or nasties. Packed full of flavour, the quality and flavour of their liqueurs certainly speak for themselves but don’t take our word for it, click on the below links and try them for yourself!👇🏻
