Scots gin distillery's 'gin and sarcasm' face masks prove big hit with fans

A top Scottish gin distillery is proving a big hit with fans after releasing their own branded face masks - emblazoned with the phrase: "Only removing for gin and sarcasm".

Perthshire based Persie Gin are known for their popular range which includes the zesty, herby and aromatic, and sweet and nutty old tom gins.

Founder and distiller Simon Fairclough set up the distillery at the site of the Persie Hotel at the foot of Glenshee after years of educating Scots on the joys of the juniper spirit with his gin club.

The Persie MD said the masks were created as a bit of fun during lockdown but are proving incredibly popular with fans, he said: “We were excited to open the doors of our distillery again this week to welcome gin lovers back for shopping and sampling after months of closure.

"We wanted to lighten the mood in these strange and difficult times - so to help keep our visitors’ spirits up we created a face mask specially designed for gin fans known for their love of sarcasm."

Simon joked that it would appear there are a lot of them in Scotland as orders for the masks have been flying in, he added: "The masks have been a huge hit and we are happy to see our customers' eyes smile when they wear them.”
