Raasay Gin
$72.99
This dry gin comes from the Scottish Hebridean Isle of Raasay Distillery, on the island of the same name. It is bottled at 46%.
Like many newer distilleries, Raasay’s first product out of the gates was a gin. This gin is created using 10 botanicals including juniper grown on Raasay itself, orange peel, lemon peel, rhubarb root, angelica root, coriander seed, liquorice root, orris root, and cubeb pepper. Some of these gingredients are steeped directly in the spirit still and the rest are infused using a copper gin basket.
Producer Description
"Our handcrafted Scottish island gin combines ten carefully chosen botanicals, including Raasay juniper, sweet orange peel, lemon peel, and our triple distilled spirit. Bottled at 46% using water from our well, this is the first legal spirit from an island rooted in centuries of illicit distilling. Every drop is lovingly distilled, bottled and shipped direct from the Isle of Raasay."
