Our Scots Pine Gin is distilled, bottled and labelled on-site by our family team. We carefully distil to extract a beautiful blend of eight botanicals; Juniper, Scots Pine, Coriander, Angelica Root, Almond, Orange Peel, Cassia and Cardamon. The botanicals are placed in our innovative still called ‘Mamó’.
Testimonials
The palate delivers a beautiful balance of aromatic spice, peppery warmth, resinous pine, marked coriander and almost-sweet citrus. We can envisage this as a fireside gin, eschewing even ice, let alone the sweetening, lightening effect of tonic. A complex gin with sufficient intrigue and balance to while away a winter's afternoon contemplatively.
The Guild Of Fine FOod
An enjoyable aroma of pine is evident in this gin, with a hint of orange peel and juniper. It is exceptionally clean in the mouth with a sinus clearing, outdoor freshness. The complex balance of sharp, warm, fresh and earthy notes is exceptionally harmonious and increased when this gin is drunk with a bit of tonic.
