Inspired by the White-tailed eagles which nest close by to its distillery on the Isle of Mull, Whitetail Gin is made using a selection of botanicals native to the island. This includes pine needles, heather and sea-kelp from shores of Loch Scridain. It's distilled at the family home on Mull, which is the Isle of Mull’s first new distillery in over 220 years, which is pretty cool if you ask us.
Oh, and we couldn't let you leave without a fun fact: White-tailed eagles are the UK's largest bird of prey!
Soft though spicy, with a touch of coastal air from the sea-kelp. Juniper is robust enough to take control from the maritime elements throughout.
I tried Whitetail for the first time this week as I was unfortunately unable to purchase whilst holidaying on the Isle of Mull earlier this year as it had not been released yet. This is a cracking gin which makes a wonderful gin and tonic (we used Pink Grapefruit and Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic) and is extremely smooth, even when taken neat or with an ice cube or two. All in all - great gin!
