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

7/10

From 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.
