Juniper-forward — pine and citrus, kaffir lime leaf adding aromatic intensity, lemongrass providing freshness, pink peppercorn heat, mace warmth, lavender softness, the fourteen botanicals creating genuine complexity at 40%

Finish

Pine and juniper — citrus fading, peppercorn warmth, the Aberdeenshire pine needles providing a distinctive forest close

First Impressions

BrewDog — Scotland's punk craft beer brand — launched their distilling arm with LoneWolf gin, distilled in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. Fourteen botanicals including Tuscan juniper, Scots pine needles from Aberdeenshire, kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, lavender, and pink peppercorn. Triple-distilled.

Tasting

Fourteen botanicals triple-distilled. The nose is bold juniper with Scots pine and citrus. On the palate at 40%, juniper-forward with pine, kaffir lime, lemongrass, peppercorn, and lavender. The finish is pine and juniper.

The Bottom Line

LoneWolf earns a 7 — BrewDog's spirit-making ambitions produce a gin of genuine complexity. The Scots pine from Aberdeenshire and kaffir lime leaf create a distinctive profile. At £25, impressive value from Scotland's most rebellious distillery.
