Rock Rose Citrus Coastal Edition Gin: A Zesty Tribute to Scotland's Shores
Introducing the Rock Rose Citrus Coastal Edition Gin, a masterful creation from Dunnet Bay Distillers that encapsulates the essence of Scotland's northern coastline. This gin is a harmonious blend of traditional botanicals and coastal-inspired ingredients, offering a refreshing and invigorating experience for gin enthusiasts.
Craftsmanship and Botanicals
Dunnet Bay Distillers, nestled in the picturesque region of Caithness, Scotland, draws inspiration from its coastal surroundings to craft this unique gin. The Citrus Coastal Edition is distilled using a traditional vapour infusion method, incorporating locally foraged kelp from Shore Seaweed and liquorice salt from the Hebridean Mustard Company. These distinctive botanicals are complemented by lemon verbena, grown in the distillery's geodome, adding an aromatic citrus tang to the gin's profile.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Warm juniper notes gracefully transition to bright lemon and verbena aromas, evoking a fresh coastal breeze.
Palate: A delightful balance of fresh citrus flavors intertwined with the oceanic umami essence of kelp, creating a smooth and delectably sweet taste with a subtle salted edge.
Finish: A hint of salinity emerges from the liquorice salt, followed by lingering citrus notes, leaving a refreshing and bracing sea air finish.
Perfect Serve
To fully appreciate the nuanced flavours of Rock Rose Citrus Coastal Edition Gin, consider the following serving suggestion:
Glassware: Balloon stem glass

Fill the glass with plenty of ice, pour the desired measure of gin, add the tonic, and garnish with the grapefruit slice and goji berries. This combination enhances the gin's citrus and coastal botanicals, offering a truly invigorating experience.
