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

Product Information

ALKKEMIST Gin is distilled just 12 times a year, under a full moon. While it may not add anything to the flavour of the spirit it’s a process which certainly helps inspire the mystical aura its name suggests. Sitting in the centre of the vibrant island community, from which we take our name, we are a thriving, expressive and unique distiller, true to our idyllic Hebridean home. This heritage was the reason Port of Leith Distillery chose a wine-shaped bottle for their gin. As a nod to history, ‘Leith Glass Works’ is also embossed on the base of every bottle.

Lind & Lime Gin was launched in 2018 and its bottle has caused quite the stir. The gin’s story is centred around the port of Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital. The city has a long history with gin, as a key trading port with Europe. Upon arriving in the harbour, wines and spirits would be taken from their barrels and bottled. Thus, glass became produced in large quantities in the port. Launched in 2019, Tobermory Gin draws on over 200 years of history, being distilled in one of Scotland’s oldest commercial whisky distilleries.Martin Miller’s Gin was one of the frontrunners of the gin revival. Launched in 1999, it remains a ‘must-have’ gin to this day. It was especially important for them to create something truly original and unique, like their island, so when the opportunity arose to secure a redundant John Dore & Co copper still from South Africa, the time felt right.

Fill a tall glass with ice and add 50ml of Hebridean Mountain gin and a squeeze of your selected citrus fruit (we've chosen pink grapefruit). ​Palma Gin takes its striking pattern from traditional Mallorcan tiles called Suelo Hidraulico, with a local family of tile makers being the inspiration behind the design.

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. Brooklyn Gin is a staple in many UK supermarkets with its irregular shape and turquoise glass. In the centre is its bronze logo emblazoned like a medal. Try it on ice with tonic and dried hibiscus flowers, which give a lovely pink hue to the gin, and a slightly tart cranberry-like taste, which contrasts the gin’s natural sweetness. More Information

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. Lavender adds beautiful sweet floral notes and helps to balance the saltiness from the kelp and samphire Rich creamy mouthfeel, sweet lemon infused rosehip with a bitter balance of Rowan berry, floral hints of heather and a warming ginger spice.

The bottle is inspired by these two parts of his career – Georgian Dublin and Imperial China. Being from Glasgow, I obviously have a soft spot for Glaswegin! The distinct square bottle is incredibly well thought out, utilising its shape to accentuate the play on words (a Glaswegian being a resident of the city of Glasgow).

They wanted to produce something which depicts the truly stunning scenery found on the island – and what a job they’ve done! First launched in 2015, Mermaid Gin is a well-established brand by today’s standards. Hailing from the Isle of Wight, it obviously takes inspiration from the ocean. And with it’s plastic-free bespoke designed bottle, it goes even further to tie into that theme with its turquoise glass and scale-like exterior.

Its copper bottle is a nod to Ayanda, the still personally designed and built by founder/distiller Bruce Midgely.

The seafront and harbour is famous for its rainbow coloured row of houses and shops that overlook the Sound of Mull, the expanse of water between the east side of the island and mainland Scotland. 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.
