Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin 46% 700ml

Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin 46% 700ml

Situated on the remote Hebridean Island of the same name, Raasay Distillery was founded in 2014. While the island is no stranger to distilling, Raasay is the first legal distillery to be built there. With fewer than 200 inhabitants, Raasay is a tight knit community, the distillers aim to be at one with the island, bottling on site and employing many locals.
The Raasay Hebridean Gin is distilled in the old way, using malted barley spirit three times distilled in a pot still. Unusually the juniper is harvested on the island itself, complimented by botanicals such as rhubarb root, cubeb, angelica root, and sweet orange peel.

Tasting note

Nose: clearly juniper berries and fresh citrus fruits, with violets and fris cher rhubarb

Taste: dry and mouth-filling - again the citrus fruits, now more clearly the oranges, again the rhubarb and the spicy tones of coriander and the angelica root

Finish: dry in the finish with fresh citrus notes

Alc: 46%
