Isle Of Harris Gin 750ml Scotland Infused With Sugar Kelp 90pf
| Description: | History,. Our local distillers create this first gin offering from our island distillery in a small copper gin still ("The Dotach") which sits alongside her larger whisky-making sisters in the distillery's bright Spirit Hall. Our key local ingredient is Sugar Kelp seaweed, gathered sustainably by hand from local sea-lochs, as our key botanical to express our island's unique maritime nature. Sugar Kelp works in harmony with seven other careful chosen botanicals: Juniper, coriander seeds, cubebs, cassia bark, angelica root, bitter orange peel, and liquorice root. We bottle Isle of Harris Gin by hand here at the distillery too, before applying the labels and closing each one with a natural cork and wood stopper. Finally, we apply a paper seal bearing our distillery's geographical coordinates to every single bottle by hand, your guarantee of a truly Outer Hebridean gin, made in the Isle of Harris and nowhere else. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Opening the cork gives a satisfying deep, echoey pop. It certainly whets the appetite. As you nose the gin, it's juniper-forward, fresh and sweet. Citrus notes of the bitter orange and coriander aren't far away, while always in the background is the sugar kelp, adding a rich maritime scent, really helping to transport you to the Hebridean isle. It's very much a traditional gin to the nose, but with a contemporary twist. Palate: citrus notes are the first to appear before fading to bring juniper from the background. There's a sweetness here from the liquorice before the cassia bark and cubeb provide a peppery finish. The sugar kelp makes itself known with a sweet saltiness. Overall, it's a really well-balanced, refreshing and smooth gin. There's nothing too overpowering and certainly enjoyable as a sipping gin. |
