Orkney Gin Company Johnsmas

Unleash the spirit of an Orkney summer with the Orkney Gin Company Johnsmas 50cl. This exceptional gin draws inspiration from the long, luminous days of midsummer in Orkney, where the sun scarcely dips below the horizon, casting a magical glow over the ancient standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar.

A Celebration of Midsummer

The term 'Johnsmas' hails from Old Orcadian, signifying 'midsummer', a period traditionally marked by bonfires, festivals, and music, deeply rooted in Orkney folklore. This gin encapsulates the essence of these celebrations, offering a sensory journey to the heart of an Orkney summer.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, Johnsmas Gin is a floral and fragrant spirit. It features a selection of seasonal botanicals that capture the clean and refreshing floral notes of midsummer. The botanicals include home-grown mint, juniper berries, wild rose petals, orange peel, and Orcadian heather flower.
