Orkney’s first distillery in over 130 years, Deerness Distillery invites you to experience the sensory pleasure of its multi-award-winning range of spirits this Christmas…
Looking for some fabulous gift ideas this Christmas? Head over to Deerness Distillery where they can offer you something not just for the gin lovers in your life, but the vodka lovers too. They also offer a luxurious multi-award winning coffee liqueur for a decadent alcoholic coffee.
From the windswept islands of Orkney the team’s self-built distillery looks out over the rugged coastline of East Mainland. In the winter the waves will crash over the cliff edges of the island and the birds will ebb and flow with the wind. But peek inside the distillery and master distiller Stuart is meticulously crafting multi-award winning spirits.
Looking for something different to drink this winter? Try the multi-award winning Scuttled Gin, where you’ll detect a touch of spice from cinnamon and warmth from green pepper. Perfect with ginger ale, lemonade or classic tonic or try it warmed as a modern ‘mulled gin’.
Are you a fan of the classic ‘Expresso Martini?’ Deerness Distillery’s Into The Wild Vodka (the most Northernly distilled vodka in the UK) and Orcadian Moon Coffee Liqueur have both been judged winners of their categories in the Great British Food Awards, on their own they are fabulous and together they make a delicious Expresso Martini. The team love this combination so much they’ve even made it into a hamper!
The classic ‘Sea Glass Gin’, a Great British Food Awards category winner and the company’s signature spirit, showcases a unique juniper and French tarragon recipe base. Distilled together with lemon verbena and orange, and finished with a fresh cucumber and mint it is perfect for a classic G & T.
The distillery’s final offering for you this festive season is their distinctive pink gin, Vára Gin. A delicate blend of rose and cardamon, it’s floral and fruity and balanced with pink grapefruit and lime. Perfect neat over ice as an aperitif, with ginger ale or add it to your Christmas trifle for a luxurious grown-up’s dessert.
