It's the awesome Batch #8 from Dornoch's impressive Experimental Batches range. These gins were all made in small batches from scratch at the small Dornoch distillery (no neutral grain spirit used at all!), and each batch is slightly different. Batch #8 is their light spirit featuring their core botanical selection (plus cinnamon), combined with an oilier spirit which was aged in a 100 litre juniper cask for eight weeks. Our Sam was particularly fond of this one...
Earthy spice (almost a bit hoppy), complemented by subtle oak elements. Lemongrass and Sichuan pepper.
Sichuan pepper again! Oily juniper, oak-y cinnamon and orange flesh (leading into a touch of kiwi fruit).
Warming and a bit chocolatey. Almost rye-like…
