From Scotland's Arbikie distillery comes a gin which honours the father of the distillery's owners - Alexander Kirkwood Stirling. AK's Gin is made with wheat and honey farmed at Arbikie, alongside black pepper, mace and cardamom. What's more, the gin supports a worthy cause, and the distillery donates £1 from each bottle to motor neurone disease charities.
The honey comes through clearly, bringing creamy sweetness to the palate. Helpings of peppery spices and oily juniper give it some balance.
Quite a harsh flavour. Disappointing.
