Mermaid Gin (750Ml)

Description

Mermaid Gin comes from the Isle of Wight Distillery, off the south coast of England. It is the island's first and only distillery. The team has made this gin by hand since 2014. It uses ten botanicals, and the island itself supplies some of them.

Rock samphire is foraged from the island's cliffs. Boadicea hops grow at the Ventnor Botanic Garden. Juniper, organic lemon zest, English coriander, and elderflower join them. Grains of paradise, orris, liquorice, and angelica root round out the recipe.

The nose brings fresh citrus, sweet spice, and gentle juniper. On the palate you get a zing of citrus, peppery spice, and earthy sweetness. A hint of sea air sits in the background. The finish is long, layered, and well rounded.

The house serve is a Mermaid and tonic over plenty of ice. It also works in a dry martini or a light spritz. The scaled bottle is recyclable glass with a natural cork. The company became a B Corporation in 2022 and supports marine conservation.

The distillery lists a first place at the International Wine & Spirit Competition. It also won Best Eco-Packaging from the American Distilling Institute.
