Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet orange and gentle spice — the reindeer moss adding a warm earthy complexity beneath the Highland botanicals
Palate
Piney juniper opening with sweet orange zest — delicate florals and berries with woody spice and aromatic cassia-pine murmuring beneath, dried fruit and baking spice reminiscent of fruit cake, very round full mouthfeel
Finish
Echoes of dried fruits and candied orange peel — crystallised ginger with liquorice and pine adding depth, a heartwarming Highland experience that funds the reindeer herd with every bottle
Expert Review
8/10Celebrating 70 years of Britain's only free-roaming reindeer herd — reindeer moss (lichen) for warming spice alongside Caledonian pine, cloudberry and heather. £2 from each bottle goes to the herd's maintenance. Dried fruit, orange peel and baking spice like fruit cake, with lingering candied ginger and liquorice depth.
