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.
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.

Fairly standard gin. Not bad but nothing special for price.

A fantastically smooth, classic London dry style. Perfect balance of floral vs citrus notes, and at 43% it works nicely in a negroni orMartini

I was ever so excited to try this, classy bottle! Slightly disappointed however it is drinkable with tonic.

Juniper forward, little hints of spice, but really well rounded. Quite an oldskool "proper" gin (in a good way). Great in a classic G&T with some orange peel. Holds up in a martini also and enough about it for a negroni.

Just adorable!!!

A wonderfully smooth gin, with a perfect blend of mild floral notes with the sweetness of the citrus coming through. A very discreet warm spice on the finish

Typical Gin, boringly average

Worse gin ever. Not sure it would be good enough to clean my bathroom. It really is rough. Had smoother diamond white in 1980’s.

Not at all bad but slightly uninspiring, this does sit better with a flavoured tonic but certainly not a sipping gin.

Sublime! One of the best Scottish gins you can buy.

Smooth, with a floral hint, but mainly a warm discreet spice finish and nice citrus edge to the flavour.

To taste, this gin has hints of rose, borage, and a vague hint of the sea. Juniper is also prevalent, with a lovely pine note in the background. There's a sweet orange citrus burst in there too. A wonderful complex gin, that we enjoy with Fentimans tonic, ice and a slice of orange
Absolutely love this gin! At 43%, it is incredibly smooth, and offers a beautiful sweet finish when garnished with a twist of orange zest.Tried it with Fever Tree tonic, and works really well. Also tried as a martini - absolutely perfect!
Smells good taste not bad but not great either, tastes like a typical run of the mill gin.

I took this gin home to Australia, and shared it amongst my fellow ginnys. Loved by all with comments from its smoothness and how it can be taken neat. My only regret is that i brought home just one bottle .... i cant go back to drinking the more commercial varieties now ...

Superb flavour and smooooooooooth......
18th October 2017
Loved this with Fever Tree med tonic - packed with flavour and very smooth
1st October 2017
Thoroughly enjoyed this gin! It is really smooth, and you can easily sip over ice with just a garnish, or in a martini. A nice, simple tonic such as Fever Tree Indian works nicely with this one, with or without the recommended orange rind garnish

A delicious light gin for making into a long drink for the summer or a warm evening. Tasty neat too. If you like your gin spicy or acidic it's subtle flavourings aren't for you, however, if you like it light and flowery then I would recommend you give this a try. As I like to support independent gin producers, this will be replacing Bloom when I want a long drink. It needs a tonic that hasn't been messed about with because of the subtle notes, I would go with fever-tree natural or 1724, put something else if you wish, but you will loose Kirkjuvagr's beauty.

Lovely bottle and well presented.Nice smell and initial taste, finish slightly drying.
23rd April 2017
Nice enough gin if garnished correctly.

Tried in a Glasgow gin bar.
