Throughout the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many companies disrupted their usual business model and taken it upon themselves to use this time as an opportunity to help!
Here are 3 gin distilleries who have made their own hand sanitiser during the pandemic:
Portobello Road Gin Distillery
As the company said in their Instagram post; “Thanks to the quick and hard work of our team, we’ll be providing as much spray to the force as we can for as long as they need. Also a big thanks to all the essential workers out there looking after us all in this unprecedented time.”
Nelson’s Distillery & School
Turning their hand to making a different kind of alcohol based product, their new hand sanitiser, named Timur Scented hand sanitiser, has been designed to smell like Nelson’s treble-award-winning Timur Gin. Regarding the new venture, Mr Harrison said: “I’m just doing my bit for the NHS, key workers and those most vulnerable. It’s testing times for everyone at the moment. Everyone should do what they can to help out.”
Isle of Harris Distillery
The Scottish gin makers of the award-winning Isle of Harris Gin have joined with Essence of Harris, a candle and fragrance maker, and A.S. Apothecary, a small batch distiller and apothecary, to create a high-quality hand sanitiser during the pandemic. The bottles of sanitiser named ‘Spirit of the Hebrides’, which have been made under guidance provided by the World Health Organisation, are being given out for free to key workers in the Western Isles.
