Tasting Notes
Nose
Bright pine notes flooding the nose, followed by earthy heather grounding the vibrant juniper — resinous Scots pine character with gentle heather fragrance and floral sweetness
Palate
Delicately floral with bold zesty lemon citrus, pine coming to the fore with refreshing resiny flavour, balanced by floral heather elegance — milk thistle adding earthy bitterness at mid-palate
Finish
Beautifully smooth and refined — pine fading, leaving lingering heather sweetness with a touch of earthy dryness from the milk thistle
Expert Review
8/10The classic 1947 Bombay recipe enhanced with four indigenous Scottish botanicals — heather, milk thistle, bog myrtle, and Scots pine — adding Highland terroir to an Edinburgh distillery's gin.
