Hills & Harbour (70cl)

A gin produced in Galloway, Scotland, a place surrounded by forests and unspoilt coasts, using nine botanicals. Alongside juniper, the botanicals include spruce needles, seaweed, Sichuan pepper, coriander, iris, orange peel, angelica, liquorice root, bay leaf and mango. The bottle has a stopper made entirely of natural cork and wood. On the nose it is herbaceous with pine notes and slightly salty. On the palate it is surprisingly fruity yet well balanced, with herbaceous notes accompanied by tropical fruit sweetness and a touch of sea salt.
