Master of Malt Customer
Description
An 'unmistakably Orcadian' gin made with locally grown botanicals including Ramanas Rose, Burnet Rose, Angelica and Borage. The inclusion of Angelica was inspired by a story that suggested Angelica was brought to the Orkney islands by Norsemen, and can still be found growing there. Further connection to Orkney's heritage comes from the name, Kirkjuvagr, which means 'Church Bay' in Old Norse.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Peppery juniper and salty sea air (salt and pepper is a classic combo, after all...), floral dandelion.
Palate
Candied peels, coriander. A bit perfume-y in spots.
Finish
Drying spice, vanilla-y angelica and a resurgence of sea spray salinity.
