Kirkjuvagr Gin has a real sense of place and beautifully represents Orkney, from the founders, brand and name through to the botanicals and the end-product gin itself. The gin is well-balanced and there's a depth of flavour, from floral and herbaceous notes to subtle, almost sherbert-like sweetness offset with a peppery twist in the lingering, dry finish. Kirkjuvagr Gin delivers on flavour, complexity and personality in a way that many new gins can't match, and it deserves the big future the founders are aiming for.
