Overall Summary

Killochan Castle represents a unique opportunity for our agency to work at the intersection of history and hospitality. This centuries-old estate is now a private hire venue, offering discerning clients total exclusivity and unmatched Scottish elegance. Our approach centred on creating bespoke, immersive experiences around Old Pilots — a brand with its own story steeped in aviation, craft, and passion.

Working alongside Killochan's event planners and concierge team, we curated tasting moments for VIP guests, developed premium minibar concepts for the suites, and introduced Old Pilots through wedding packages and corporate retreats. The partnership became an integral part of the venue's luxury experience narrative.

This project demonstrated how our agency can tailor brand experiences for the most exclusive environments — blending storytelling, placement, and sensory delight. The result was a seamless integration that elevated both the spirit brand and the venue's offering.

When we approached Home House with our proposal to introduce Old Pilots Gin, the conversations were as fluid as our cocktails. Their team, known for curating elevated experiences for discerning clientele, welcomed the idea of not just a product placement, but a true partnership. We worked together to explore immersive ways of embedding the gin within their member offering — from signature serves on the menu to exclusive launch events that reflected the club's distinctive character.

The result was more than a listing. Our relationship has evolved into a joint celebration of artisanal quality and curated moments. Together, we've hosted activations that bridge classic charm and modern mixology, and continue to craft ideas that push the boundary of traditional spirit marketing. Home House is more than a client — it's a canvas where the story of Old Pilots continues to unfold.
