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.
Sadly this is very disappointing. A heady scent but almost zero flavour. I tipped in way more than I ever use when I drink Botivo or Mother Root to try to improve it, but it’s still tasteless.
This is delicious. A truly delightful alternative to an alcoholic tipple. Complex, rich, challenging. Just the job before turning in.
