First Impressions
Solway Orange & Bergamot Gin combines sweet orange with the aromatic bergamot — the citrus that gives Earl Grey tea its character — creating a sweetly zesty, delicately floral gin produced in remarkably small batches of just 50 bottles at a time.
Tasting
The nose opens with a citrus and floral bouquet complemented by a juniper edge. On the palate, rich and balanced orange and bergamot zesty sweetness sits delicately floral over the London Dry base. The finish carries an elegant, long-lasting citrus aftertaste.
The Bottom Line
Solway Orange & Bergamot earns a 7 for pairing orange with the distinctive bergamot that gives Earl Grey its character. The 50-bottle batch size ensures artisanal quality. At around £34, a citrus gin with tea-like elegance from Scotland's Solway Coast.
