Rock Rose Premium Scottish Gin – Original Edition
41.5% vol. 750ml
Tasting Notes: Initially the earthy warm Italian juniper will give way to the lemon sherbet of the Bulgarian juniper, before a nice jammy flavour develops thanks to the blaeberries, hawthorne and rowan berries. Finishing off with liquorice, cinnamon and our lovely Rhodiola rosea!
Signature Serve: 25ml Rock Rose gin, 75ml premium tonic. Martin prefers his garnished with a sprig of toasted rosemary and for Claire a curl of orange!
Rock Rose Gin is a family owned Scottish, handcrafted gin that is zesty and flavourful but surprisingly smooth. It is made with an infusion of 18 traditional and local botanicals, 5 of which are hand foraged from local cliffs and forests. The precious botanicals are blessed with the freshest air and purest water from the Scottish Highlands.
The name Rock Rose gin comes from one of the local botanicals, Rhodiola rosea, a rose, found off Caithness’s wild coastline where it was once harvested by Vikings over 1000 years ago for its strength and vitality. We select our juniper from two different countries; Bulgarian juniper to create a real depth of flavour alongside Italian juniper to give slightly more delicate lemon sherbet notes.
Our locally foraged botanicals include rowan and hawthorn berries and sea buckthorn. Each bottle is hand waxed, numbered and signed before it leaves our wee distillery.
Rock Rose Gin is distilled in Elizabeth our traditional copper pot still using a slow vapour infused process to extract the botanical flavours.
