Gotland Gin
3 Church Road, Highampton, EX21 5LS
Member Overview
Gotland Gin is an award‑winning, small‑batch gin handcrafted on a farm in Highampton, West Devon. The distillery is run by former British Army husband‑and‑wife team Dawn and Mark, who settled in Devon and began keeping the Scandinavian Gotland sheep—the very inspiration for their brand and its botanicals.
The gin is made in a nano‑distillery on their own smallholding, using a traditional copper alembic still to create premium spirits that blend classic juniper with Scandinavian berries and botanicals such as lingonberry and other Nordic‑inspired flavours.

The Spirit Range
Gotland Gin produces several distinct expressions, crafted in small batches:
⭐ London Dry (Juniper‑forward)
Their signature gin—smooth, refreshing, and rooted in classic London Dry technique, with a Devon‑meets‑Scandinavia twist.
⭐ Cloudberry Farmers’ Strength (58% ABV)
A bold, Nordic‑influenced high‑proof gin celebrating the Scandinavian berry tradition. 

Seasonal & Special Editions
The distillery also experiments with limited runs inspired by farm life, botanicals grown on-site, and Swedish flavours.
