What is it?

This gin is made in the heart of malt whisky country, Speyside.  You cannot argue with the statement that this gin is hand crafted.  The still is a traditional copper in the Al-Ambiq style.  Juniper is in there but does not dominate the profile.  The botanicals include locally grown fruits and Scottish oats.  A gin version of cranachan.

Tasting Notes

Nose:  Sweet with a hint of liquorice, parma violets, green apple peel and dried corriander.

Taste: Very floral with berry fruits, juniper, lavender and the chalky love heart taste.

Finish: Dried lavendar and corriander.

Conclusion

This is very drinkable neat as it is so well rounded.  The berry fruits make it a great tool for cocktails as well.  As a perfect serve gin and tonic?  Danger!  Danger! There is a reason why this gin comes with a cork rather than a screw cap.  Open a bottle for a couple of drinks with friends and you can just throw the cork away.  The bottle will not go back into the drinks cupboard.  It will go straight to recycling as you will have finished it.  Way way way to drinkable.
