It’s day 2 of Ginvent and today’s treat is Stirling gin. I’ve actually already tried this and because I’m lazy you can read about it here.
Currently a bottle of Stirling gin will set you back £32.37 (on Master of Malt at time of writing) and you can find Stirling gin on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Note: I found Stirling Gin on Twitter and they kindly sent me a sample. As always, you’ll know if I don’t like it.
For those that don’t know, I’m half Scottish. I love Scotland – especially this year when McLaren pride will peak in August when our clan marches in the final night of the Tattoo. I also love gin. So Scottish gin is a winner for me. Introducing yet another new Scottish gin, Stirling Gin was first distilled on 28 October 2015. They use local nettles which are distilled with basil, lemon and orange peel, juniper and angelica root to create their gin in Annie – the 450 litre copper still. They place some botanicals directly in the pot, and the nettle and basil are placed in a basket at the top. They list a number of recommended serves, including some fruity cocktails.
