Certified Scottish Gin
All our packaging can be recycled
Avva means a respected grandmother, a respected mother, or an old or respectable woman in the Indian language of Dravidian. In Hebrew it means to overturn or ruin, which links the reputation gin had as ‘Mother’s Ruin’ from the Hogarth era. The brand's signature Avva Scottish Gin is an exclusive combination of eleven local, native and traditional botanicals, including five which are locally sourced – rowan, red clover, mint, dandelion and nettle.

Flavours
Nose
Piney juniper to nose.
Taste
Punchy juniper, more prominent than the signature gin but still with notes of citrus to taste.
Finish
Clean moreish mint finish.
How to enjoy this gin
Like any good high strength gin, it is recommended you sip this gin neat initially to appreciate all its complexities. For a more traditional serve, add a splash of tonic and a twist of orange peel.
