Feragaia
Feragaia is a Scottish alcohol-free spirit marrying 14 botanicals including seaweed, bay leaf and chamomile. Before bottling, it's then blended with Scottish water, with the resulting tipple balancing earthy and spicy notes. Feragaia means ‘wild earth’, taken from Fera in Latin meaning ‘wild’, and ‘Gaia’ in Greek mythology translating to ‘earth’.
The brand is also hugely focused on sustainability, with both the bottle and cap recyclable, while all botanicals are composted post-distillation and locally sourced where possible. It works very well either on the rocks or with a splash of tonic water.
A floral top note leads into earthier root flavours, with a balanced salty note and a warming, spiced finish.

This was a gift. I’m now buying more - love it’s subtle complex flavour and ‘nose’. Particularly love it over ice, with ginger ale (if in a sweet mood), or with soda and a crushed bayleaf. Really refreshing non-alcoholic drink.
Why do they call tbis, a spirit? Firstly its non alcoholic, which it says on the bottle granted, if its categorised as a spirit it should at least taste like one, which it does not,i tried it out more curious than anything else, but found it to be unpleasant to taste, extortionate to buy and would advise peolpe not to get conned into buying thid horrible product.
Bottle looks nice and that's the positive. Looks like a pale whisky when poured, which was a promising start. I inhaled the aroma. Undeterred by the nausea that this was in danger of inducing I thought it cannot taste as bad as it smells. I was proved incorrect. I am sure there is a skill involved in creating and marketing a drink but to develop something which smells like industrial cleaner, without any of the charm, and sell it as "alcohol free spirit" takes some large cajones. My purchase will serve as a warning to family and friends.
It has a unique complex taste and thankfully is not sweet, as many non-alcoholic drinks are. It is versatile and there are recipes for mocktails on the website - I aim to try the one with gorse, although it is fine by itself too.
I know taste is always personal but I didn't enjoy this at all.
