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.
I am so glad I bought this! It's not a substitute for any spirit, it stands apart in it's own right. Earthy and warming, I am so looking forward to experimenting with different cocktails. Thank you for saving my dry January!
I found myself wanting a drink after dinner but I am trying to cut my alcohol intake, so I went for Feragaia instead. I love how they are not trying to be a “substitute of” but they have their own personality and taste. I would 100% recommend!
Fabulous drink. Earthy and tasty and a wonderful alternative to an alcoholic tipple for those that don’t necessarily want to drink. Really pleasant taste. Surpassingly good.
First of all there is no such thing as an alcohol spirit by definition surely! It's a nice try don't get me wrong but I would support the idea but not at that price. No %, less £, No? - and if you're going to argue that the same amount of care and work goes into the 0% bottle, then for jobbies' sake give the alcoholics a financial break if they are going to give it a try! To be realistic, this will become a mixer/trend thing... sorry!
I decided to try this as I liked the natural products used & especially as it was alcohol free as, due to my health & medication, I cannot drink alcohol. I love the bottle design & first I tried a sip of Feragaia neat, I could taste the ingredients & then I decided to try it with tonic water. I recognised a taste but had to think of what it reminded me of, perhaps more of a dubonnet flavour. Next tried it with ginger ale, tasted more like a mild whisky(I had used a lot of ginger ale)Oh my this is for me, I love this drink, it is so amazing. Future drinks will have less of the mixers & more of the Feragaia or simply with lots of ice. However I try it I just love the taste, best drink I've tried in years. I'll be buying again
