AN award-winning Scottish drinks company has announced it is closing down.
The Garden Shed Drinks Co, which was established in 2017, revealed the news on Instagram.
In the post, the bosses of the business said the "time has come to bid farewell".
The firm said: "The Garden Shed Drinks Company is closing down.
"Join us in raising a glass!
"We’ve been lucky enough to have our little gin business for over seven years but the time has come to bid farewell.
"It was fun while it lasted and when we look back we realise just how far we’ve come.
"I think we can look back with pride at all the amazing things we’ve achieved.
"From an idea that started in a garden shed to creating multi-award winning spirits which were exported to over 25 countries around the world and collaborating with some of Scotland's best hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants, all whilst doing our bit for the environment! "We still have some stock available but once it’s gone we won't be producing anymore so now’s your chance to get your last bottle of Garden Shed Gin before it’s gone forever!"
After announcing the devastating news, fans of the drinks company flocked to the comments of the post to share their sadness about it.
One cried: "Sad to hear this. One of my favourite gins. All the best for the future."
Another chimed: "Aww you guys, what a beautiful brand you created. Super proud of you all and delighted I got to sink far too many Garden Shed Gins."
A third added: "Gutted, one of the best gins out there. Good luck with your new adventures."
