Earthy juniper and warming spices.
Taste
Unmistakable juniper upfront, followed by spicy lemon cassia bark with peppery middle notes.

A smooth lavender mint finish to cleanse the palate.
How to enjoy this gin
A traditional serve works well with Indian tonic and a citrus slice but this gin also shines with elderflower tonic and a twist of lemon. For the adventurous, try some pink peppercorns, or a few thin slices of green chilli to bring out the cassia bark spice.
About Deerness Distillery
A family run craft distillery in the Parish of Deerness, the team led by Stuart and Adelle Brown value friendship, tradition and cherish the community spirit that’s to be found on the island. When they were building the distillery, this community spirit was in abundance as family, friends and neighbours all turned up to lend a helping hand. Everyone involved knew they were helping to create something authentic for the island.
Production
Designed and built by Stuart, a former engineer, along with his wife Adelle and their family and friends, you’ll find a warm welcome at the Deerness Distillery. While the purpose built distillery is quite industrial from the outside, the open plan interior is a beautifully designed and functional space. The Deerness Distillery’s range of gins, alongside other spirits and liqueurs, is distilled in a traditional direct-fired copper pot still. There’s a large space for bottling, waxing and storage and the distillery also houses a small tasting bar area and shop, which features lots of orkney made gifts, plus an impressive selection of tonics. There are plans afoot to expand the distillery, including a new whisky still house, to produce a boutique array of different casked malt whiskies, as well as a new cafe, shop and visitor area.
