A delicate bouquet of rose, mixed with deeper cardamom and a touch of citrus.
Fruity berries merge with a floral nose to give a full-bodied, rounded gin. Bright notes ping as the juniper comes forward.
The sharpness of the sea buckthorn emerges, but once again is rounded off by berries and a juniper heart. Smooth sherbet lemon notes create a lingering finish.
Rock Rose is one of the finest Gins I have had the privilege of tasting, easily challenging the more established marques. Definitely worthy of the awards and recognition it has already received. Thank you for the experience…

Sea buckthorn is a silvery leafed shrub that grows along the coastline and produces clusters of vibrant orange berry-like fruit, soft, juicy and rich in oils. The fruit is highly celebrated for its high vitamin C content, around fifteen times more than an orange!
We, however, use the berries for their taste – gorgeously fruity yet crisp.
Rhodiola rosea is a plant that thrives in colder climes making it ideal for the fresh breezes of Caithness. We use the root of the plant which adds a delicate floral note to our gin.
Over a thousand years ago, the Vikings would harvest wild exposed cliffs to gather Rhodiola rosea. This was thought to give them the extra strength to continue on their long arduous journeys.
Juniper is the predominant botanical – otherwise it just wouldn’t be gin! We select our juniper from two different countries. Both junipers are subjected to a vapour infusion process and the Bulgarian juniper gives lemon sherbert notes, whilst the Italian juniper gives a real warmth and depth to the flavour of the gin.
This is part of our commitment to responsible drinking.

I was fortunate enough to meet Martin and Claire while supporting a friend on his run from John O’Groats to Land’s End. I was also lucky enough to get an unplanned tour of a ‘not quite finished’ but still impressive distillery, hosted by Martin.

This gin has the absolute wow factor. I ordered two bottles at Christmas 2014 while visiting rellies in UK. We wanted one to bring back with us to Australia and the other was a pressie for a friend in UK. However, we just don’t seem to be able to part with that second bottle and it is sitting in my Mum’s house, waiting for our return visit at Christmas 2015! Lucky us, we can enjoy this wonderful gin across two continents!! Not only do we love the gin but we also love the labelling. Everything about it is just fab!!
