Wild Fire Spiced Gin from Shetland Reel is a London Dry Scottish Gin and draws inspiration from the dramatic natural environment of the Shetland Islands and the warmth of fire during the darker months of the northern year. This bold expression features warming spices and a gentle sweetness along with classic gin notes of citrus and juniper, creating a rich and characterful spirit designed to evoke the warmth and atmosphere of fire-lit island gatherings.

How to enjoy this gin
Wild Fire pairs beautifully with premium tonic, which softens the heat from the spices and lifts the sweet citrus notes of the sorrel and orange peel. It is best enjoyed with a slice or peel of orange.
About Shetland Reel
At the northernmost edge of the United Kingdom lies the Isle of Unst in Shetland, where the North Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Drawn by the island’s rugged beauty and strong sense of place, Frank and Debbie Strang moved to Unst in 2006 and took over the Saxa Vord Holiday Resort on the site of a former RAF radar station. Seeking to support the local community and create new employment opportunities, they began developing new ventures on the estate. With the guidance of whisky industry veteran Stuart Nickerson, the couple established Saxa Vord Distillery in 2014, Shetland’s first legal distillery, releasing Shetland Reel Original Gin later that year and launching the islands’ modern distilling story.
Production
Gin production at Saxa Vord Distillery centres around ‘Elsi’, a 100-litre engineered copper still built by the renowned still maker John Dore & Co. Small-batch distillation allows the team to carefully craft the Shetland Reel range, balancing classic gin botanicals with flavours inspired by the islands. Each batch is produced on site before being bottled and labelled on Unst. Visitors to the distillery can take part in guided tours and tastings, where they learn about the distillation process, the story behind the Shetland Reel gins, and the role the distillery now plays within the wider Saxa Vord estate, one of Shetland’s most distinctive visitor destinations.
