The Dornoch Experimental Batches are a series of small batch gins from the tiny, crowdfunded Dornoch distillery made from scratch entirely on the premises - no neutral grain spirit at all! They use organic floor malted Odyssey barley to make their own base spirit, and use a core botanical blend of Juniper, Angelica Root, Cardamon Seed, Aniseed, Orange Peel, Lime Peel, Coriander Seeds, Meadowsweet, Pine Needles and Orris Root, though each batch is slightly different. Batch #6 also features honeybush and cinnamon as botanicals, resulting in a subtle, creamy sweetness coming through.
Slightly genever-esque – softly malty and sweet. Menthol, Belgian waffle and lime notes develop.
Honey’d at first, shortly followed by a rush of cinnamon spice. Creamy angelica on the mid-palate.
A mixture of fresh citrus blossom, black liquorice and white pepper.
