Tobermory Mountain Gin (700ml)
Voted World's Best Classic Gin at the World Gin Awards 2021.
Inspired by the wild purple heather clad mountains on the Isle of Mull, this award-winning gin has been distilled with heather, rowan berries and rosehips. Like the other gins from Tobermory, a small proportion of new make whisky is added to the grain spirit. The aromas evoke subtle notes of juniper, chamomile tea, lemon zest, elderflower and pepper. The palate is a notch or two more robust than its sibling, and no doubt deliberately made to contrast; This shows similar purity but more vibrancy and spice: Zesty lime and hints of rose hip tea develop over a creamy, lightly peppered backdrop, freshening up at the finish with crushed pine buds and more citrus peel. The aftertaste leaves you with drying herbal teas. A satisfying all-rounder in the tradition of London Drys. 43.3% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... A fun gin with plenty for the traditionalists while maintaining a bright and lively character. - gin-mag.com

Notes from the producers... Nose: An initial burst of refreshing lemon followed by sweet juniper, and a slight hint of coriander and spice. Palate: Rich creamy mouthfeel, sweet lemon infused rosehip with a bitter balance of Rowan berry, floral hints of heather and a warming ginger spice. Finish: Lemon and rowan berry linger, but are rounded with the sweetness of rosehip and a gentle ginger spice.
