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.
Peppery juniper and salty sea air (salt and pepper is a classic combo, after all...), floral dandelion.
Candied peels, coriander. A bit perfume-y in spots.
Drying spice, vanilla-y angelica and a resurgence of sea spray salinity.
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.
