Tasting profile:
This fine quality artisanal Heart of Scotland Original London Dry Gin is created in small batches in Scotland’s smallest county of Clackmannanshire. The resulting spirit is smooth and fresh with a light sweet note, and a mellow after flavour bordering on citrus. With that in mind, Mediterranean tonic works particularly well in harmony with the flavours however it is also marvellous with lemonade.
A hint of warm spice also emerges on the palate, alongside a natural juniper aroma. Add the beautiful presentation of the Heart of Scotland bottle itself and you have a lovely addition to any drinks cabinet or dresser, and the perfect gift.
