About Mikkelmas Gin
Mikkelmas Gin is the winter-inspired partner to Orkney Gin Company's summer-inspired Johnsmas Gin. Orkney Gin Company began as a hobby for founders Gary and Andrea Watt when they started making gin as gifts for friends. They have maintained their traditional 'bathtub' style using the cold compound process of gin making. Mikkelmas 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 Mikkel Feast which marks the end of the harvest and the end of the summer on Orkney. The Gin Guide says... Mikkelmas gin is a sumptuously warming, smooth and flavourful gin. With bold autumnal and wintery spices, Orkney Gin Company have definitely delivered on their inspiration from the Mikkel Feast. The botanicals and spices, including orange peel and cinnamon, make Mikkelmas Gin particularly enjoyable with ginger ale or in a hot toddy on a winter's day. You Might Also Like... Also try Orkney Gin Company's Johnsmas Gin. For another warming and spiced gin, try Ableforth's Bathtub Gin and Bertha's Revenge Gin. Buy Orkney Gin Company Gin:
