From the Welsh Dà Mhìle Distillery comes Seaweed Gin, which is made with a variation on their small batch gin, and then infused with seaweed from the Newquay coast for three weeks to impart a coastal character (and also imparts a very subtly green hue). Before it's bottled, Dà Mhìle Seaweed Gin is triple filtered. It was designed to compliment seafood, which is rather interesting, so crack out the oysters!
Why not try a Dirty Dà Mhìle Seaweed Martini? Combine 1 part Dà Mhìle Seaweed Gin, 2 parts Sweet Vermouth and 1 part Olive Juice in a mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with an Olive. Seaweed Gin also makes a great G&T, try garnishing yours with kiwi.
Garden herbs - fennel and dill - lead the nose, and there’s a suggestion of mint. Touches of cardamon and pepper follow slowly, and then there’s a wave of coastal saltiness.
Pocket-tin spearmints burst to life, complemented by dashes of lemon juice and a spray of sea salt. The seaweed is obvious without overpowering the gin’s savoury juniper and peppery spice notes. Fragrant eucalyptus gives a slightly medicinal quality to round off a refined palate.
Incredibly refreshing, like how you would imagine a mermaid’s toothpaste to be. It’s so very smooth, with a lot going on.
Beautifully composed, managing to be sophisticated, fun and intriguing all at once.

I've just watched an ´Escape to the Country' episode featuring Ceredigion and a visit to a gin distillery that has introduced the idea of seaweed as a complimentary botanic to our G&T favourite. I tasted this gin in a hotel bar in Edinburgh in December 17 and became an adherent, nothing now matches for me as a mix with tonic. It's a modern gin that's fragrant and smooth with the tonic mixer (Fevertree). It's a match made in heaven for a refreshing drink.
One of the best flavoured gins I have tasted. Picture summer sun and images of the sea side. This won't disappoint . Love at first taste
I absolutely love this Gin -smooth, complex, interesting - if you like botanical Gins try this one!
Tasted of pine toilet cleaner. Forced it down but had to dilute it with syrup to get rid of the taste. Didn’t work.
