Our Team

Deborah is the glue that binds Mackintosh Gin together and keeps Jim in check! It was her ‘challenge’ to Jim that he couldn’t start a gin brand that resulted in the birth of Mackintosh Gin. Deborah is the boss lady of the business and keeps everyone grounded. A Mental Health Nurse in her day job, she is a passionate foodie and enjoys cooking in her rare time off or spending a weekend at a Hydro Hotel.

Jim created Mackintosh Gin alongside his partner in crime Deborah. It was a ‘hold my beer’ moment in 2016 that led to Jim’s vision for the brand.
