This Smoked Orange edition is a credit to resident distiller, Craig Chalmers. Martin challenged Craig to take Rock Rose Gin into exploring an entirely different flavour profile, whilst remaining true to the distinctive notes of their original Scottish spirit. This release uses fine Lapsang Souchong tea to deliver smoky notes to enhance zesty organic orange peel. Complemented by tangerine sage and lemon verbena; this is a richly complex gin with a bright bonfire nose and a palate that wakes the taste buds.

Subtle hints of smoke lie underneath zingy citrus notes.
Taste
The clean pine smoke from Lapsang Souchong tea excites the tastebuds and as it settles, a candied sweet orange rises through.
Finish
The finish is long as the deep rich smoke lingers on the palate. The fresh citrus notes of lemon verbena and tangerine sage resolve into a sweetness on the back of the tongue.
How to enjoy this gin
To savour the interesting and unusual characterisitcs of this smoked orange gin, it must be tried over ice initially. For a longer drink, add tonic with orange twist and sage garnish.
About Rock Rose Gin
Dunnet Bay Distillery was established by founders Claire and Martin Murray, who returned to the Caithness area after years of studying and working away. Their desire to return home and strike the right balance of family and work life, led them to build their own distillery in Dunnet Bay in 2014, just ahead of the Scottish Gin craft boom. They've fulfilled their ambition to create jobs and produce award-winning spirits, which are distributed and enjoyed all over the world.
