Firkin Gin - Islay Casks

Our Limited Edition Islay gin is made to our famous recipe and features just four botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root and orris root.

Distilled four times, it is then further aged for up to three months in our special Islay whisky casks. It leads to around 250 bottles per run, and with each run coming from a different whisky cask, the batches vary a little bit by the time they make it to the bottle.

On the nose you’re immediately hit with that spicy, warming smell of juniper. Some honey and resin follows, before a nice note of something slightly medicinal. On the palate, this limited edition Firkin Gin exudes a wonderful, spicy and fruity kick from those gin botanicals, combined with a silky smooth, smoky exterior from the Lagavulin cask.

There’s black pepper and lime peel, ash and vanilla, sea salt and coriander seed. Imagine eating a warming curry by a fire in a pine forest near the sea on Islay and you’ll be somewhere close to the comfort of this spirit.

And with the cool nights of autumn descending upon us, we can’t help but feel it’s the perfect time to sit down after a long day’s work with a glass of this smoky and seductive gin.
Drink it as you would a whisky: neat or over ice. Most important of all, enjoy!
