Pour this over a stack of ice, top it with tonic, and you basically get a salty sea breeze in a glass. It's a gin that tastes like the Scottish coast at low tide. Bright citrus, juniper, and a clean lick of salinity that makes your G&T go savoury instead of sweet. If you're bored of the same old gin and you want something that wakes your palate up before a long Nairobi night, this is the bottle. And the 1L means you won't run dry mid-party.
First sniff and it's fresh and lightly floral, with this faint whiff of sea air sitting behind the pine of the juniper. On the tongue it's properly balanced: zesty citrus up front, then a grassy, herbal middle and a soft mineral saltiness that's the seaweed doing its thing. The finish is crisp and just a touch sweet, with that herby coastal note lingering. Not heavy, not perfumey, just clean and a little wild.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This one comes from Edinburgh Gin, a Scottish distiller that leaned right into its coastline for this bottle. The clever bit: they teamed up with the brewing and distilling boffins at Heriot-Watt University and went foraging on local beaches for the botanicals. The three that make it sing are scurvy grass (a little spice and salt), bladderwrack seaweed (which actually brings sweetness and that sea-air scent), and ground ivy (fresh, grassy green notes). Pile those on top of a classic London Dry base of juniper, coriander and a few warm spices, bottle it at a punchy 43%, and you've got the Scottish shore in liquid form.
