Have a gin just like the Oscars

GIN lovers can share an Angus drink with the likes of Martin Scorsese, and Margot Robbie at the Oscars this weekend, without leaving the sofa.

Forfar favourite Gin Bothy has been chosen to provide an exclusive tipple for the Oscars goody-bag.

And now that gin will be available to buy, so film fans can enjoy a drink that’s also being sipped by Hollywood’s very best without having to leave home.

Bottles labelled 1-25 will be given out to nominees for best picture, best actor, best actress, and their best supporting counterparts.

The remaining bottles are available on sale on the Gin Bothy website, or in-person in their Glamis and Forfar shops.

Gin Bothy boss Kim Cameron decided to put the “rare” gin — made using Scottish heather and Scots’ pine and rosemary – after sending the first 25 to America.

“This is not just a celebration for Hollywood, it’s an invitation for everyone to experience the glamour and taste of the Oscars.

“Rather than hold on to the remainder of this unique batch we decided to make them available for anyone to buy.

“While most of us can only dream of winning an Oscar, anyone who gets one of the 300 bottles will be able to practise their winner’s speeches with ease as each bottle comes with a miniature six-inch Oscar figure.

“Those staying up to watch the Oscars can be part of the glamour and excitement surrounding Hollywood’s biggest night, replicating the glitz with our film-inspired cocktails including Nominee’s Negroni, Fit for a Star Martini and It’s Show Thyme.”
