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.

No idea why but this does taste like mermaid's toothpaste as per description (?!!) and is delicious! Probably not for everyone but add a slice of kiwi & some tonic, we loved it!
Tastes like someone has boiled up a christmas tree, quite disgusting. The only Gin I have ever had to throw away.
Was recommended this in a gin bar in Liverpool by the manager! Was garnished with (black pepper’ cucumber and gin berries) ordered a bottle as soon as I got home! Must try with black pepper and tonic ??????
I fancied something different - and got it with this gin. At the time, this was the worst gin I have had, out of fifty or so that I've tried over the last three years. I have to say I've had worse. However this gin has a nasty chemical taste, like a mouthwash. Don't buy it. You could buy 2 bottles of acceptable gin for what you'd pay for this overpriced ....
We bought this gin and my husband loved it first time round, so much so we ordered a second bottle which tasted of a stagnant harbour at low tide. It made us both want to hurl!! Totally undrinkable. Obviously varies from batch to batch and certainly would never buy again
