-16%Pour this and your usual gin suddenly looks a bit basic. It's juniper-bright like a proper gin should be, then it does something nobody else does: a clean lick of sea salt and a savoury, almost oyster-like depth that makes the whole drink taste alive. Build it into a G&T tonight and it's a conversation, not just a drink. If you like gin but you're bored of the same old floral stuff, this is your next bottle.
Crystal clear in the glass, and the nose is gin-shop classic up top, juniper and zesty citrus, with a salty coastal breeze underneath. The first sip leads with soft bright juniper, then the clever bit kicks in: a brisk hit of sea salt and a rich savoury umami note, like the gin remembers it was made beside the Atlantic. It rolls into something smooth and almost buttery, with a faint nutty, chestnut warmth and a gentle dry grip on the finish. Earthy, savoury, a little wild. Not sweet, not perfumey, properly different.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Sliabh Liag Distillers in Co. Donegal, on Ireland's wild Atlantic edge, and it was the first gin ever distilled in the county. They forage five different seaweeds along the coast (Sweet Kombu, Dulse, Pepper Dulse, Carrageen Moss and the namesake Dúlamán, an Atlantic seaweed) and run them with juniper and other botanicals through a copper pot still they've affectionately named Méabh. Each bottle is hand-filled and wax-sealed on site, and the batch number is tied to the lunar phase. The name itself comes from an old Irish folk song about seaweed gatherers. About as far from a factory gin as it gets.
