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.
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!
