Tasting Notes
Nose
Delicate floral notes — citrus body, juniper present but not aggressive, a freshness suggesting the Kintyre peninsula's Atlantic air
Palate
Classic London Dry structure — juniper and citrus leading, sheep sorrel adding a subtle sharp herbaceous note, Icelandic moss contributing earthy depth, cubeb berry providing gentle pepper warmth
Finish
Juniper and spice — clean and dry, moderate length, the estate water's softness evident
Expert Review
7/10From a family-run distillery powered by its own 100kw hydroelectric scheme at Torrisdale Castle Estate — 'Beinn an Tuirc' meaning 'Hill of the Wild Boar' in Gaelic. Twelve botanicals including sheep sorrel and Icelandic moss, distilled with water from the hill itself.
