LoneWolf Gin
About the distillery
LoneWolf Gin is a Scottish gin from BrewDog Distilling Co in Ellon in Aberdeenshire. The style is built around a distinctive juniper foundation, copper distillation, and a range that runs from the classic Original Juniper to more experimental versions with lime, cactus, peach, passion fruit, blackberry, and raspberry.
Ingredients and production
LoneWolf is handmade and distilled in its own copper pot stills. The distillery emphasizes that the gin is made from the ground up using their own Abstrakt Vodka as the base spirit, giving full control over the starting point of the finished gin. The recipe is built on a substantial amount of juniper, stated to be five times more than in an average craft gin, and it provides a clear, classic gin backbone. Alongside juniper, the house works with botanicals leaning toward citrus, lavender, Scottish pine, and a touch of spice. The combination is intended to lift the flavor rather than hide it, and production is also linked to a declared carbon neutral profile. It’s a gin with a clear focus on control, raw strength, and purity of expression—rather than on embellishment or cautious nuances.
Gins
The range is straightforward and centered on several distinct flavor variations. Original Juniper forms the classic reference point in the series, while Mexican Lime & Cactus, Peach & Passionfruit, and Bramble & Raspberry show how the brand plays with more playful fruit and citrus profiles. There is also a mentioned upcoming LoneWolf release on the side, underscoring that the series is still evolving. Common to all editions is that they’re created to put flavor first and maintain the distinctive LoneWolf identity.
Gin style and flavor profile
LoneWolf centers on a clear juniper profile, where juniper carries the flavor. Fresh lemon and grapefruit sit around it, providing a clear citrus lift. Lavender adds a floral dimension, while pepper spice and impressions of Scottish pine give a wilder, drier character. In the different variants, the series also points toward lime, cactus, peach, passion fruit, blackberry, and raspberry, so the expression ranges from sharp and citrus-driven to more fruit-forward.
Visit the distillery
The site doesn’t provide a proper visitor program, but it lists a physical business address in Ellon and a contact email for BrewDog Distilling Co. This indicates where you can reach out, but there’s no information about tours, tastings, opening hours, or booking. For the visitor, this means the destination is clearly located, but not described as a public visitor distillery with set experiences.
Philosophy and craft
LoneWolf places emphasis on quality, craft, and independence. Work is deliberately done with its own base spirit, and the house highlights that it’s the only proper way for them to make gin. Flavor is the guiding principle, and juniper is allowed to dominate an expression that doesn’t try to be soft or anonymous. At the same time, the brand is tied to a declared carbon neutral profile, so craft and responsibility are described as part of the same identity.
Sustainability
Every bottle of LoneWolf is proudly carbon neutral.
