Distiller Notes
Kirsty's Gin is named after the master distiller at Arbikie, Kirsty Black, who arefully chose local botanicals to showcase their unique landscape and surroundings.
The kelp, carline thistle and blueberries represent the elements of ocean, rock and land that surround the Scottish east coast farmlands, creating a wonderfully creamy gin filled with the character of Arbikie's Angus home.
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.
