Tobermory Hebridean Gin, 70cl, Craft Scottish Gin with Gift Box

Product Information

Working with specialist spirits branding agency, Stranger & Stranger, the ‘Social Distillery’ has created something which is the envy of many. They wanted to produce something which depicts the truly stunning scenery found on the island – and what a job they’ve done! Rich creamy mouthfeel, sweet lemon infused rosehip with a bitter balance of Rowan berry, floral hints of heather and a warming ginger spice. Over 220 years later, and they’ve decided to add a gin to their range. There are 13 botanicals that go into the Hebridean Gin and these include juniper, tea, heather, elderflower, and sweet orange peel, which are fresh from the island if they grow there. There’s also an intriguing addition to both make the gin different and to connect it with their whisky heritage, as they add a drop or two of spirit from the whisky stills into the gin.

Tobermory on the Scottish Hebridean island of Mull must be one of the prettiest towns in Scotland. How could its gin not taste good?Fresh juniper balanced with sweet orange and lemon, hints of coriander, gentle herbs and spices, with a luxurious, creamy mouth-feel and a subtle hint of sweet malt. It’s modern and cool, and the green/aquamarine colours of the bottle mirror the forest and the sea, from which they get their signature botanicals. I was glad to read that, as I think they’re going to be selling a lot of this gin. Scottish gin now has a reputation for quality, and this is only going to add to it. For a start, it’s a beautiful bottle which makes the most of Tobermory’s colourful houses, as you can see from the photos.

On the nose the juniper isn’t too powerful, and is balanced by a sweetness, perhaps from the elderflower. There are citrus aromas too, and a hint of maltiness from the whisky. It’s certainly unique. The inviting gradients of the dark blue represent the fierce Skagerrak sea, with different hues depending on the light. Three small dots surround the contemporary typography of the logo, symbolising three Nordic lighthouses which surround the straight, while the cork stopper has the North Star leading the way. Tarquin’s Gin has always had a really pretty bottle. With its signature wax finish, it’s one that stood out. In August 2018, to mark the 5th anniversary, the bottle went to a whole new level. Everything about 44°N Gin exudes luxury. Hailing from Grasse in the French Riviera, the town is synonymous with perfumery. The bottle is therefore reminiscent of the perfumer’s workshop while capturing the translucence of the Mediterranean Sea. Goes great with: A sprig of thyme, slice of blood red orange, a pinch of dried hibiscus flowers, tonic and ice.

Lavender adds beautiful sweet floral notes and helps to balance the saltiness from the kelp and samphire The brand is named after George Chinnery, the English painter, who began his career in Dublin, before travelling to China. The bottle is inspired by these two parts of his career – Georgian Dublin and Imperial China.

There’s no doubt the new Mermaid Gin bottle is an absolute showstopper. But when you read more into it, you can’t help fail to be even more impressed. The bottle design is inspired by traditional ceramics of Sargadelos from the gin’s home in Galicia. Synonymous with utilising singular designs and white and blue colours, Nordés mirror these designs expertly to create a bottle instantly recognisable as their own. This unisex Tobermory whisky hoodie in white with ‘athletic’ style writing is available in sizes SMALL to XXL. Sweatshirt material and fluffy on the inside, this is a perfectly cosy jumper! Ensuring a true taste of the island is hugely important to the blend, as is demonstrated with the inclusion of a pinch of Hebridean tea, grown by a local on Mull.
