CoGoGo are pleased to be managing the sale of Wild Thyme Spirits a unique and highly rated gin distillery business in the Isle of Colonsay, Scotland.
Tucked away between the better-known islands of Islay and Mull, and nestled close to Jura, lies a tiny island just under a two-and-a-half-hour ferry journey from Oban on the West Coast of Scotland.
Wild Thyme Spirits, a celebrated and profitable gin distillery, offers a unique opportunity for passionate entrepreneurs to take over an established brand located in the picturesque Isle of Colonsay, Scotland.
The current owners are retiring, paving the way for new leadership to build on their success.
Wild Thyme Spirits has garnered accolades for its exquisite gin. The retreat boasts a rich collection of over 200 gins sourced from around the globe, attracting gin aficionados and tourists alike.
Our client holds the copyrights for the name "Colonsay Whisky," ensuring exclusive branding rights that enhance the product's market appeal and differentiate it from competitors, thereby boosting sales potential.

Living on the island offers a serene, slower pace of life. Mornings could be spent walking along the beach, evenings by the fire with a glass of your finest creation, and weekends exploring the island's hidden coves and hiking trails.
