Meanwhile, the garden peas and pea shoots bring an unexpected freshness, their green notes providing a vibrant counterpoint that elevates the overall profile of the gin.

Tasting Notes

Nose: The combination of sweet, creamy strawberry and gentle fresh pea shoots gives an almost salted caramel nose, with elements of strawberry swirl

Palate: The first hit is that reassuringly silky strawberry sweetness, right on the tip of the tongue, which gradually gives way to the fresh savoury taste of the peas

Finish: The fresh, green element of the pea shoots balances out the lingering sweet, berried tones, leaving you with a creamy yet balanced long finish

Serving Suggestions

Summer 2024 is a perfect gin for sipping on long summer evenings, best served with a classic or Mediterranean tonic, and a wee segment of fresh strawberry. The enchanting aroma of strawberries paired with the crisp invigorating taste of pea shoots will make every sip feel like a warm Scottish summer day.
