Downpour Coast & Croft (70cl)

A gin inspired by the Isle of Uist in the Outer Hebrides, made with locally gathered pepper dulse seaweed and thyme alongside juniper, coriander, pink pepper, angelica root and lemon peel. It is distilled by a method intended to preserve the essential oils of the botanicals. On the nose it is herbaceous with juniper in the background; on the palate it is fresh, dry and citrusy, with a light savoury note from the seaweed. Served well in a gin and tonic with citrus tonic and a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary.
