Scilly Spirit
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!
A citrus-packed nose, with lighter hints of dry juniper and cardamom heat following up the orange and lime.
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.
Subtle salinity on the finish, with toasty cardamom and cinnamon.
An absolutely gorgeous gin which took us straight back to St Mary's where we first tried. It's a lovely clean taste and so refreshing.
Received some for my birthday from my son who is working on scilly just now. Well what a surprise this gin is a delight. So smooth and tastes fantastic. One of the best I've tried so far
