Following their popular initial spring promotion, which sold at a rate of over 130 bottles per hour in the first week of sales, the supermarket chain has teamed up with eight Scottish producers to create a second festival of all things juniper.

With nine different gins featured in Lidl’s 96 Scottish stores from this Thursday 1st November, the festival will include two new pink gins: Kinrara Rose & Cardamom Gin and Square Peg Pink Gin.

A spokesperson for the brand said: "Two artisan producers from Scotland's northern isles are also set to return to Lidl shelves by popular demand, after a debut at Lidl’s inaugural Scottish G Festival; Saxa Vord Distillery with their returning Shetland Reel Simmer Gin and Orkney Distillery presenting a new offering of Kirkjuvagr Aurora Spiced Gin."

Paul McQuade, Lidl’s head of buying for Scotland, added: “We have been working closely with some of the finest distilleries in Scotland to offer our customers the best premium gins at fantastic value.

"The majority of these Festival gins are exclusive collaborations, ranging from floral pink gins to classic crisp Scottish dry gins, and even a fruity gin liqueur. We are proud to be launching the second installation of our Scottish Craft Gin Festival, enabling us to push the boundaries of innovation in craft gin.”
