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.

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......
Loved this with Fever Tree med tonic - packed with flavour and very smooth
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
