Isle of Harris Gin (70cl, 45%)

A London dry gin made in Tarbert on the Isle of Harris, distilled in a small copper still known as 'The Dottach' and bottled and sealed by hand. Local hand-harvested Sugar Kelp is included alongside eight other carefully chosen botanicals, including Bitter Orange Peel and Cubeb. The bottle is designed to capture the elemental nature of the island. It is refreshing, with good balance between bitter juniper and pine and sweet fruit flavours of mango, grapefruit and orange, developing a green herb flavour of crushed coriander, with a distinctive, smooth and dry, flinty taste.
