First Impressions
Solway Violet Gin delivers an unashamedly bold dose of Parma Violet character. Violet petals are infused into the Solway London Dry base, creating a punchy floral gin that prioritises the sweet violet experience above all else.
Tasting
The nose is a full hit of Parma Violet — unmistakable and immediate. On the palate, the Parma Violet sweetness meets floral, spicy juniper and fresh violet wafts. Despite the intensity, the gin maintains hearty sweetness at its core with robust juniper. The finish is clean, crisp, and smooth. Serve with grapefruit, lemonade, and ice.
The Bottom Line
Solway Violet earns a 6.5 for those who love Parma Violets and want that experience in gin form. The violet is intense and authentic, and the juniper backbone provides gin identity. At around £34, a boldly floral Scottish gin from the Solway Coast.
