Original Gin is the St Andrews take on a classic London Dry. Made from Fife’s seabuckthorn berries, a super food that grows within walking distance of Eden Mill's St Andrews distillery. The unique tart berry flavour is abundant. But they balance the gin around it, using citrus elements drawn from the other botanicals (like lemon balm and citrus peel). This gin is on a quite different level to most. So the first question is – how will you enjoy yours?
Botanicals include Juniper berries, Lemon balm,Citrus peel, Angelica, Seabuckthorn berries and is presented in 70cl ceramic bottle.
Nose - Strong citrus nose of lemon balm, bitter orange, and hints of light grapefruit. Delicate spice of coriander and clove through the midpoint. Sweet white fruits (pear, lychee, and melon) to finish
Palate - Well rounded and smooth, with no burn. Notes of juniper and green peppercorns, followed by dried sour notes of seabuckthorn and cranberry. A sweetness of lychee, rambutan, and pear under more sweetness in an orange finish
