Lussa
Lussa Gin is a native of the Isle of Jura, distilled in Ardlussa by a trio of adventurers using a selection of botanicals grown on the island, foraged by the team. They even go out on the river in their kayak to hunt for sea lettuce! Like we says, they're adventurers.
Orange blossom and lemon balm, slightly savoury hints of oat biscuits.
Peppermint and lemongrass, with touches of oily juniper developing.
Fresh and floral, with peppery spice lingering.
I sampled Lussa Gin neat during the 2017 feis ile on Islay and purchased a bottle as a result. Sorry to say that when mixed with tonic the results are not pleasant, very industrial and surgical tasting, not improved with tonic at all.
