Beinn an Tuirc means 'the hill of the wild boar' in Gaelic and is the highest point on the Kintyre peninsula. Just below the hill, in a converted piggery on Torrisdale Estate, this gin is distilled with the whole estate as its larder.

Expert's description

Kintyre Botanical Gin is a Scottish London Dry Gin distilled by Beinn an Tuirc Distillers on Torrisdale Estate and bottled at 43%.

The distillery began production in June 2017 on Torrisdale Estate, owned by the Macalister Hall family since 1872. The building and still are powered directly by the estate's own hydro-electric scheme, making it one of Scotland's first distilleries of its kind.

The gin is distilled from 12 botanicals, including juniper, cassia, coriander, lemon, orange, liquorice, almond, angelica root, orris root and cubeb berry, joined by sheep sorrel and Icelandic moss foraged directly on the estate to keep food miles down.

Using locally foraged Icelandic moss and sheep sorrel is a deliberate choice that ties the gin more closely to the Kintyre landscape than most other Scottish gins.

Four small bottles, four colours and a trip down the Italian coast without leaving the kitchen table. Yellow from the lemons of Amalfi, red from Sicilian blood oranges, pink from pink grapefruit and clear from the original. Malfy has built its entire identity on Italian citrus, and here the four stand side by side.

The expert's description

Malfy Miniature Gift Set Italian Gin 4x5 cl 41% is a gift set holding four Italian gins distilled from Italian wheat spirit and bottled at 41% in 5 cl bottles.

The set contains Malfy Originale, Malfy Con Limone, Malfy Con Arancia and Malfy Gin Rosa. All four come from Torino Distillati in Moncalieri, Piedmont, where the Vergnano family has been distilling gin since the 1970s, and all four are bottled at the same strength, so it is the raw materials rather than the alcohol that separates them.

Originale is the house starting point: Italian juniper and five botanicals over a base of Italian wheat. Con Limone builds on that with lemon peel from the Amalfi Coast and from Sicily, steeped in the spirit before distillation. Con Arancia brings in Sicilian blood oranges alongside juniper, coriander, cinnamon and angelica. Rosa works with Sicilian pink grapefruit, lemon peel, angelica, orris root and coriander, and after distillation a rhubarb distillate is added, which supplies both the pink tone and a bitter edge.

Four times 5 cl covers four drinks, or one tasting where all four sit next to each other. It is the fastest way to work out which of them deserves a full bottle.

Tasting notes

Nose

Citrus in four directions. Originale smells dry and juniper-led, Con Limone of freshly grated lemon peel, Con Arancia of sweet blood orange with its spice behind it, while Rosa puts grapefruit and an earthy rhubarb note forward.

Palate

Juniper sits beneath all of them and ties the set together. Originale is the driest and most classical, Con Limone tastes of peel rather than juice, Con Arancia is the softest and roundest of the four, and Rosa turns dry across the middle with white pepper and a light bitterness.

Finish

Short to medium on all four. Citrus peel dries the mouth, juniper hangs on, and with Rosa it closes on a trace of rhubarb and rose petal.

Named Scotland's Best Matured Gin, this expression takes Makar's classic dry gin and lets it rest in oak until it takes on an entirely new character.

Expert's description

Makar Oak Wood Cask Aged Gin is a Scottish cask-aged gin from the Glasgow Distillery Company, bottled at 43%.

The gin starts life as Makar Original Dry and is then matured for ten weeks in small, handmade 50-litre casks made from virgin European oak.

The cask maturation gives the gin a golden colour, a new layered flavour with distinct smoky notes, and a spicy finish not found in the unaged expression.

The eight botanicals from Makar's base recipe, juniper, angelica root, liquorice root, coriander seed, lemon peel, rosemary, black pepper and cassia bark, still form the core, but emerge more complex after time in wood.

The gin won Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and has been named Scotland's Best Matured Gin.

Nose

The nose is round and woody with a light smoky character and juniper in the background.
