Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright mineral purity — piney juniper, the untouched Falklands air quality evident in the clean aromatics, wild and botanical

Palate

Bright citrus lift — subtle herbaceous notes from the scurvy grass, gentle peppery character, the Tumbledown Mountain water's mineral purity creating a spirit of extraordinary cleanliness, orange peel warmth, liquorice sweetness

Finish

Wild and botanical — the scurvy grass adding a peppery note unique to the Falklands, mineral water purity, the world's most remote gin leaving an unforgettable impression

First Impressions

Tumbledown Distillery — believed to be the world's most southerly — distils micro-batches of just 70 litres at a time on the Falkland Islands. Botanicals are hand-gathered in the wild, including scurvy grass — the vitamin C-rich plant that saved countless sailors from scurvy. The water comes from Tumbledown Mountain, filtered through peat, lichen, and stone.

Tasting

Falklands-foraged botanicals with mountain stream water. Bright mineral nose. Citrus and scurvy grass palate at 46%. Wild botanical finish.

The Bottom Line

Tumbledown earns an 8 — the world's most remote gin with the world's most remote terroir. The scurvy grass and mountain stream water create something truly unique. At £166, extreme pricing reflecting the extreme remoteness — every bottle travels 8,000 miles from the South Atlantic.
