Bruce Walker from Broomhill is toasting award success after launching Purist Gin in lockdown
A young Glaswegian who was given a “stern talking to” for selling home-made gin to his schoolmates at the age of 16 is toasting an award-winning drinks business.
Bruce Walker, 22, from Broomhill, turned his passion for spirits into a company called Purist Gin after finding himself jobless when the first coronavirus shutdown hit.
Within months, the first batch of his product had won a bronze medal at the Scottish Gin awards in a category with 150 entrants, including established names like Edinburgh Gin and Isle of Harris gin.
