Raasay Hebridean Gin is a handcrafted Scottish gin that captures the rugged beauty and botanical richness of the Isle of Raasay. Distilled, bottled, and shipped directly from the island, this gin is the first legal spirit produced on Raasay, a place with a long history of illicit distilling. It is crafted using ten carefully selected botanicals, including locally foraged Raasay juniper, sweet orange peel, lemon peel, and rhubarb root, all layered over the distillery’s own triple-distilled spirit. This combination results in a gin that is both distinctive and deeply rooted in its Hebridean origin. On the nose, Raasay Hebridean Gin is fresh and aromatic, offering bright citrus notes of sweet orange and candied lemon, complemented by piney juniper and a subtle hint of rhubarb. The palate is dry and zesty, with bursts of juniper, richer rhubarb tones, and vibrant citrus flavours that harmonise beautifully. The finish is long, crisp, and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of herbal brightness and coastal purity. This gin is versatile and elegant, ideal for a classic gin and tonic served with ice and a twist of orange zest to highlight its citrus character. It also shines in cocktails such as a Martini or Negroni, where its complexity and balance elevate the experience.
