Isle of Harris Gin is arguably one of the most instantly recognisable spirits bottles in the world. And it helps that the liquid inside is equally as stunning! With huge thanks to Seb & Tony for my complementary bottle of their Science Project 6a London Dry Gin! With restrictions now easing, I can’t wait to head over to Derbyshire to see the eco-operation for myself. Now, most farms are known for filling bottles with milk. But ‘Old Mc’Kerr’ opts to fill her bottles with something a little stronger, more juniper led and certainly not semi-skimmed! All of the gins are distilled by Jenny and her good mate Morag – though that’s ‘Morag II’ to you and I, the teams copper still responsible for double distilling a host of traditional botanicals with a native twist. All batches of Wee Farm spirits are then bottled and labelled on the farm for their onward journey.But for a Martini with a delicious point of difference, look no further than the Clydesdale. Sharp, crisp apples provide a fresh fruit vibe, lifted to loftier heights by the citrus elements. It almost seems to transcend the barriers of gin, deliciously straying in to an almost apple brandy territory. The vast number of botanicals makes this a very interesting gin to sample. It offers tastes that ebb and flow the more you sip as each of the botanicals comes to light. Citrus is one of the most prominent flavors, followed by a bouquet of fruits and florals.

The recipe is a closely guarded secret but Lorien says: “If it does not grow within 500 metres of our house, it is not in our gin.” Add to that, water used from the Loch itself and you’ve got a gin of proper Scottish provenance. To round off the neat spirit, there is some fiery greenery at play for sure. Whilst not instantly recognisable to my internal flavour wheel, which would perhaps lean towards coriander, it is the shiso leaf providing the herbaceous undertones.When you’re playing with a classic gin, then enjoy the classic playground! In a Martini, it is much the same story as the G&T. There is a bold feel of citrus and juniper, with the bay, verbena and liquorice elements of the gin pulled forwards. An adventure in a gin,” it states on the Lussa Gin bottl The brand is named after George Chinnery, the English painter, who began his career in Dublin, before travelling to China. The bottle is inspired by these two parts of his career – Georgian Dublin and Imperial China. But then there’s the Farmers Strength Martini. Let’s take a moment for the Farmers Strength Martini…the classic sensibilities of the gin and heightened ABV are made for this serve! Whilst the key flavour notes are retained, with pink peppercorn, juniper and delicate greenery remaining most prominent, the spirit remains remarkably creamy, carrying an elevated depth of flavour.

In fact, the whole experience left me determined to learn more about this tartan team and their distillery! And with International Scottish Gin Day 2021 landing on October 2nd, it seemed the perfect opportunity to get better acquainted with some of the wider range. Plump juniper coats the tongue, leaving you in very little doubt that this is a classic gin profile that was made to sit perfectly in the G&T serve. Furthermore, and perhaps most impressive of all, are the steps taken that I feel will truly ensure the longevity of the brand and build genuinely lasting relationships with those who visit the farm and experience the gin.

Isle of Harris Gin is best enjoyed neat over ice, or served with Walter Gregor’s Tonic Water and a wedge of red grapefruit. Botanicals: Seeds, berries, roots, fruits, and herbs are used in the distillation process for flavoring the gin. The aromatic compounds (usually oils) are released during this process to create the unique makeup of the bottle. It's time to go old school and get a taste of gin brands that have revived the oldest gin recipes in the world. We begin with the oldest of the two, genever. Furthermore, for those who want to extend their stay (or simply can’t leave after consuming the fruits of Jenny’s labours), punters can now enjoy a luxury gin inspired staycation at the Wee Farm self catering cottage ‘The Distillers Cottage’.

Manchester Food Tourist says:“A real complex gin that combines apple, ginger and gorse for a real treat for the taste buds.” Whilst I chose to pair with a light tonic and garnish with orange, to bring an additional citrus element to the fore, the Dog and Spoon suggestion of lemon and rosemary deserves further inspection. It’s a double garnish that suggests a complementary kiss on the forehead of both the citrus and herbal inclusions that I have little doubt would work incredibly well! It was time to paint myself in to the picture, only I’d be holding a tasting glass and an artistically licensed chiselled chin…it was time to see if the Drovers Gin was as pleasing on the taste as it was on the eye.
