General Questions

Who are Biggar Spirits?
Biggar Spirits is an independent, family-run distillery founded by brothers Stuart and Euan McVicar. We craft small-batch spirits at The Stillhouse in the Southern Uplands of Scotland — focused on quality, flavour, and the “Biggar mentality”: small batch, big passion.

Orders & Delivery

How long will my order take to arrive?
Orders placed before 11am are usually dispatched the same working day (Monday to Friday).
We ship via Royal Mail 48-hour tracked delivery, so most parcels arrive within 2–3 working days.

Returns & Refunds

What is your returns policy?
We always want you to be delighted with your order.
If your product arrives damaged, faulty, or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery, and we’ll arrange a replacement or refund.

Products & Serving

What’s the difference between your gins?

Each Biggar Gin has its own character:

  • Original – bright, balanced and citrus-forward. 43% ABV.
  • Old Tom – lightly sweetened with honey and warming spice. 43% ABV.
  • Herbaceous – green, aromatic and fresh. 43% ABV.
  • Navy Strength (Biggar Strength) - bold and full-bodied at 57% ABV.
All are distilled in small batches using traditional methods and local botanicals where possible.

Ready to Drink Cocktail FAQs

How should I store your Ready-to-Drink Cocktails?
Store bottles upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
Once opened, we recommend keeping them refrigerated and enjoying them within 1 week for the best flavour.
