Distiller Notes
This characterful gin is named after Alexander Kirkwood Stirling (aka AK). He's the father of the Stirling brothers and their inspiration for starting Arbikie Distillery.
AK's Gin is distilled using wheat farmed at Arbikie and is flavored with locally and sustainably sourced fresh Angus honey, black pepper and cardamom.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
