Stirling Distillery has announced that all profits from its Gin Blue Line gin will be donated to mental health charity PTSD999 during the month of May – Mental Health Awareness month.
PTSD999 provides support for those serving, or who have served, within the emergency services who are living with post-traumatic stress.
Stirling’s Gin Blue Line gin was created when distillery owner Cameron – a former police officer in the Metropolitan Police – was asked to create a product that would help raise awareness and funds for those within the emergency services suffering from PTSD.
With 20% of profits going to mental health charities, the gin has raised over £5000 since its launch in November 2021.
The distillery partnered with PTSD999 in 2022 to part-fund their PTSD awareness short film Broken Glass: A Fragile Mind and have continued to support them with the money raised by Gin Blue Line.
PTSD999 has been operating as a non-for profit social enterprise since its formation and is run on a 100% volunteer basis. They are committed to raising awareness of PTSD within the emergency services and helping break the stigma associated with it.
Gin Blue Line is made with carefully selected botanicals including forget-me-nots, Scottish heather, sage and kaffir lime leaves, and should be served with a premium tonic and garnished with lemon or lime to accentuate the spicy, floral and sweet notes.
