Tasting Notes

Nose

Aromatic and elegant with fresh pine and florals — the sea pink adding a unique coastal floral note

Palate

Sweet berry and botanical flavours — ribbons of spice and juniper weaving throughout, refreshing bitter kick drawing you back for another sip

Finish

Refreshing bitter kick — the twelve organic botanicals creating a lingering, complex close that earned 99/100 at IWSC

First Impressions

Copeland Irish Gin is distilled next to the harbour of Donaghadee, Northern Ireland — twelve organic botanicals including Sea Pink Maritima foraged from the Copeland Islands. Outstanding Gold and Best Contemporary Gin at IWSC 2022 with an incredible 99/100 — one of the highest gin scores ever recorded.

Tasting

The nose is aromatic and elegant with fresh pine and florals. On the palate, sweet berry and botanical flavours with ribbons of spice and juniper weaving throughout, a refreshing bitter kick drawing you back. The finish is refreshing with complex, lingering character.

The Bottom Line

Copeland earns a 9 for a 99/100 at IWSC — virtually perfect. The Sea Pink Maritima from the Copeland Islands gives it a botanical that no other gin can claim, and the twelve organic botanicals create remarkable complexity. At around £35, a world-class Irish gin at an accessible price.
