Mermaid Gin has a distinctive and mysterious character. It comes from England, from The Isle of Wight Distillery. Its aroma is fresh, slightly marine and at the same time herbal. This can be attributed to the use of some botanicals grown on the Isle of Wight, including juniper, which adds a classic pine aromatic component to the gin. Other botanicals, such as rosemary, mint and lemongrass, add a spicy and herbaceous character to the aroma.
The taste of Mermaid gin is balanced and refreshing. The juniper is still noticeable, but not too dominant. Notes of citrus and fresh herbs appear in the gin, giving the drink a subtle complexity and uniqueness. There are also hints of sea wind and sea salt, another reference to the Isle of Wight where the gin is made.
High quality botanicals including juniper, sea heather, rosemary, mint and lemongrass are used to make Mermaid Gin. These ingredients are carefully selected to ensure the quality and uniqueness of the gin. The botanicals are macerated in alcohol and then the macerate is distilled in a traditional pot still.
The name of this gin is inspired by the rock plant Samphire (Herbaceous Elephanthorn), which the locals call ‘mermaid’s kiss’.
