5 Highland gins
NEW WESTERN STYLE – HIGHLAND GIN
No.8
This lovely, slightly dry, smooth gin with just a hint of juniper in the bouquet has a flowery, rose petal beginning, reflecting the rosehip and meadowsweet ingredients. See if you can detect the slightly peppery aftertaste, not unlike some whiskey. This complex gin has many subtle taste undertones.
NEW WESTERN STYLE – HIGHLAND GIN
No.17
We at the Fairytale Distillery are always looking to add to our list of Highland Gins. This time we seek to recreate the ‘Spirit of the Glens’ by using only those botanics present in the Highlands of Scotland which, together with the pure spring water of Alt Mor na Dornie high above the Distillery,combine to give this unique gin its distinctive flavour.
OLD TOM – HIGHLAND GIN
No.29
Strong ethereal top notes, candy drop-like, berry-like, lime, orange peel, floral notes, orange blossoms, elderflower, green tea, subtly juniper-like, a lot of rose oil, lavender, coriander, cardamom, thyme, malty sweetness, good tightness and length, warming finish, unconventional concept.
