Flavourful and fresh, zesty yet berryful with a long smooth finish.
Rock Rose Gin gets its wonderful flavour from a carefully selected and put together creation of local and traditional botanicals. Each one meticulously chosen for their flavour properties to create the perfect taste.
After fifty five experiments by Martin & Claire the final recipe was chosen to give a wee taste of Caithness and the very first batch was distilled on the 17th August 2014.

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.

Matthew Rouse, just a quick note to say not only do my wife and I love all your various Gins first brought at Tatton Flower show 2019.,but also the excellent service we received recently when delivery was a bit of a problem due to the remoteness of where we live. Needless to say all ended well ,and we will not hesitate to order again. It’s just difficult to pick a favorate. Oh well it will have to be one of each
Thanks again
Matthew and Emma

Great Gin to have….drank whole bottle myself whilst thinking of heathers and deers! Sublime when alone looking through the window seeing dreary England as was wishing to be in far north at this time of the yearning heathers bloom….
