This Scottish gin is known for its unconventional botanical profile, combining traditional juniper with distinctive additions of rose and cucumber. Produced in small batches, it uses two different types of stills - a Carter-Head and a pot still - before the distillates are blended, a method that contributes to both clarity and complexity. The inclusion of rose petals and cucumber essence sets it apart from more classic gin styles, creating a softer and more aromatic profile. Rather than emphasising sharp juniper or citrus, it leans toward a rounded, floral character, reflecting a broader shift in gin toward more expressive and accessible styles.
It is commonly served with tonic and garnished with cucumber to highlight its signature notes, though it also works well in lighter, more aromatic cocktails where its floral qualities can be showcased.
