Colonsay Gin takes its inspiration from a mixture of Celtic folklore and the natural Hebridean beauty of the island.
Colonsay made in small batches of 160 bottles to a recipe that is closely guarded by special helper, ALVA, a delightful, red-haired maiden, who lives at the home of Wild Thyme Spirits – Tigh na Uruisg – which means Home of the Spirit.
A small batch, hand-made, premium Scottish Gin, in the style of a classic London Dry Gin, slightly stronger at 47% ABV to accentuate the full flavour of the botanicals that are used which consistently produce a fantastic, juniper led, premium quality gin.
Colonsay Gin is all about a sense of place and the heartfelt passion of those who make it.
Serve as a G&T with Fever Tree Premium Tonic and a twist of orange peel or, for a change, why not try Colonsay Gin with Poachers Well Florida Orange and Irish Rosemary Tonic as a hi-ball, over loads of ice.
Smooth and slightly sweet, strong juniper notes then transport you to a pine-fresh walk through the magnificent woodlands of Colonsay House.
The flavour develops into a delicate balance of spice, peppery notes and lemon sherbet; the latter lingering, as clean and refreshing as a dip in the clear blue waters of Kiloran Bay.
