Mermaid Winter Gin (75cl, 40%)

Mermaid Winter Gin is a seasonal English gin from the Isle of Wight Distillery, bottled at 40% ABV. It builds on the distillery's coastal botanical profile, with rock samphire hand-foraged from the island's coastline, and adds winter botanicals including pine, clove and warming citrus peel. The nose shows pine needles, juniper, clove spice and coastal minerality, with dried orange peel and cinnamon. The palate is bright with juniper and citrus, then warm baking spice, with rock samphire adding a gentle saline note and pine adding resinous depth. The finish is medium-length with lingering spice warmth and a clean, slightly herbal close.
