Secret Garden Gin Apothecary Rose Scotland 500ml

Founded in 2012 by Hamish Martin and his wife Liberty in Edinburgh. The Secret Herb Garden has over 600 naturally grown and tended varieties of herbs. As a Herbologist, Hamish spent his time experimenting with the botanicals he so carefully and lovingly nurtured. With his knowledge and his past in the drinks industry, Hamish created a range of 100% natural gins, using the botanicals he had grown in his own sacred space. They grow, pick, dry and infuse all of the incredible herbs by hand. They then harness the magical properties of the flowers and herbs through a natural distillation process, creating glorious floral gin that is 100% natural, with no additives, flavours or colouring, just nature distilled.

Their Apocathery Rose Gin is not only 100% natural, made using botanicals grown in their very own garden, but it also contains a chemical component that reacts with citric acid in tonic water to magically change color. The backbone for this gin is Juniper and Coriander where the seeds and berries are lightly crushed, Angelica root and Angelica leaf are used in conjunction with Winter Savory, a plant not dissimilar to Rosemary but with more subtle notes. Those botanicals offer a smooth, delicate and fresh base gin.

Tasting Notes

Surprisingly aromatic rose, fresh candy come to the fore along with delicate raspberries, before a gentle soft and warmth comes through on the palate. Delicate and fragrant.
