My name is Bruce Walker, I am 21 years old and the founder of Purist Gin.

Purist Gin is a raw unfiltered, full-strength London dry gin with no frills. I make a gin for people who like gin and want an exquisite bottle with new artwork for each batch from new and exciting artists from any medium.

I started Purist Gin during the first lockdown in the UK out of desperation and inability to do anything else. I had a business making bespoke gin for small retailers and some bars/restaurants and had got my license 8 weeks before the UK was put in full national lockdown.

It was during the nights, days and weekends of our lockdown that Purist Gin was born. It was in the darkness of lockdown that we found our fire and have been riding our success out of the darkness.

We are hitting the ground running with a new website, winning a Bronze in the London Dry gin Category at the Scottish Gin Awards and 3 new batches with all new labels and even a new strength for the braver gin drinkers.

For the next phase of Purist Gin, we want out of the dark and into the fire. This means a revamped social media presence, a shift away from the typical gin scene and more awards for what we know is the best gin in the world.

Onwards and upwards because there is so much more to come

Bruce.
