Orkney Gin Co - Johnsmas Gin Review & Tasting Notes

About Johnmas Gin
Orkney Gin Company started as a hobby for founders Gary and Andrea Watt and their gin continues to be made in-house using a traditional 'bathtub' style cold compound gin process. Johnsmas Gin is inspired by the rugged landscape of Orkney and features handpicked local botanicals and 7 times filtered grain spirit. It gets its name from the midsummer time of year and celebrations on Orkney, known as Johnsmas.
The Gin Guide says... Johnsmas Gin is the epitome of summer. It is floral and fragrant on the nose, and light and fresh on the palate. Alongside the floral botanicals the juniper, mint and citrus zests add balance and a subtle sweetness. Johnsmas Gin makes a beautifully refreshing gin and tonic with a garnish of lime or apple. You Might Also Like... Also try Orkney Gin Company's Mikkelmas Gin. For another Orcadian gin try Kirkjuvagr Gin, or try Colonsay Gin for another gin from the Scottish islands.

Meet the Makers"We are very proud of our Orcadian heritage; this comes across in each of our gins – from our distinct Orcadian logo with its simplistic Scandinavian design, to the botanicals which are carefully hand-picked within walking distance of our home."
