## Description

Product Description               Summer on the Orkney Islands is something truly special. We experience an exceptional 18 hours of daylight, with little dips of twilight in the early hours of the morning during mid-summer. Being at the very top of Scotland, the islands are not blessed with the warmest weather - but that makes for very fertile, green land, and an abundance of fresh botanicals ready to be collected. Johnsmas captures all the magic of Orkney's summer, and the enjoyment we have for our history and folklore. Summer has traditionally been enjoyed with drinks and dancing, and bonfires representing the ever glowing sun. At Orkney Gin Company, we enjoy telling you the tales of the islands and showing you a little of our history through our gin - and the botanicals in our gin (which have been written about in recipes and notes for hundreds of years). We hand-pick our heather flowers, rose petals, and grow our own mint at home in our garden. These three botanicals form the basis of our Johnsmas Gin, with only the best oranges - (Seville) used to create a marmalade tanginess. We use lots of Croatian juniper and other botanicals in our Johnsmas to make it just right. Don't just take our word for it - Johnsmas has won dozens of awards for its truly special flavour, including gold in the world gin awards, and was the most awarded Scottish gin in 2020. All our spirits are hand-crafted in our small family run distillery with love. Johnsmas takes several weeks to create, steeping all the goodness and flavour from the whole botanicals. Each bottle is hand filled, hand corked and hand labelled. *please note Johnsmas is not a clear gin, and the colour of the gin may vary from each batch due to natural variations in botanicals.

    Not like any gin I've ever tasted
  

*by S***U on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2019*

Loved this gin - totally unlike any other I've ever tried.  The floral notes hit you first, a lovely light, summery fragrance and taste; then the warmth and spice kicks in on the aftertaste - a real treat and sure to become a favourite.  Look forward to trying their others
