A blend of 13 botanicals gathered from the Cornish coastline, cottage gardens and clifftops create Cornwall's first small-batch cold compound gin. The beautiful pastel image of the local area on the bottle demonstrates the passion the brothers behind St. Ives Gin have for Cornwall and the inspiration worked well, because this a quite delicious gin.
Among smooth vanilla and tart orange peel there's aromatic touches of basil and cardamom and a clean, fresh sea breeze.
Sweet vanilla and menthol thyme help to temper the smoky Cornish seaweed so it doesn't overpower. Pink peppercorns and liquorice bring warming spice.
Lingering citrus elements and a pinch of coriander

As noted below, has a yellow colour which, to my mind, adds to the charm of a really tasty gin; in my top 5!
Best gin bar none! Such a subtle taste with an aftertaste long lasting true to the botanicals used. My favourite gin, reminds me of holidays by the beautiful St Ives bay where I first discovered this lovely gin, have been ordering in multiple bottles ever since- never lasts long!
Tarquins far better for the price, this has an unusual yellow colour coming from not being distilled., tasted a bit weird too!
Bought for me as a present, I was very struck by this gin which is delicious
These guys have taken the “bathtub method” (correctly known as cold compound) to a whole new level. If you like traditional dry gins (ugh, boring) then this isn’t for you. This gin isn’t bitter at all, instead it showcases the flavours of locally foraged botanicals (like the gorseflower that gives its golden hue). The juniper is still there, but the days of samey citrus/juniper gins are numbered - and these guys are the instigators. Top notch.
