Scilly Spirit Island Gin 70cl
Scilly Spirit
Scilly Spirit Island Gin
Produced on the Isles of Scilly just off the Cornish coast, it's Island Gin from Scilly Spirit! The distillery is based on St Mary's, and the recipe was inspired by a ship wreck on the island back in 1665. The ship was carrying Javan pepper, so that's there as one of the six botanicals which represent the oarsmen. The folks behind the gin are very focused on sustainability, composting used botanicals and encouraging gin lovers to reuse their bottles after they've finished the spirit!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
A citrus-packed nose, with lighter hints of dry juniper and cardamom heat following up the orange and lime.
Palate
Citrus once again stands out, but the juniper is dialled up on the palate, becoming powerfully vibrant and subtly oily. A hint of fennel gives it some herbal sweetness.
Finish
Subtle salinity on the finish, with toasty cardamom and cinnamon.
