Arcturus Torridon Gin draws its name from a first-magnitude star in the constellation of Boötes, which is amongst the brightest stars seen from Earth and is related to the stag and the rising of the star Arcturus.
The Torridon is a 5-star hotel and resort set in 58 acres of Scottish parkland at the end of the magnificent sea loch, Upper Loch Torridon. The team noticed there was no specific gin from Torridon despite a rich bounty of wild botanicals growing nearby.
Having foraged for botanicals that were a true reflection of the local landscape – land, mountains and sea, the team at The Torridon chose Dunnet Bay Distillery to make their gin – Arcturus Torridon Gin.
Distilled with locally foraged botanicals from the surrounding land, mountains and sea, providing an aromatic, crisp, clean gin. On the nose, herbal and rounded with fennel and parsley. On the palate, dry and herbaceous with sweet and salty notes. To finish, dry, crisp and clean with liquorice and earthy notes.
Key Botanical(s): Scots Lovage, Bilberries, Rowanberries, Kelp
Gin Style: London Dry
Strength: 41.5% vol
Goes great with: Orange twist, tonic and ice.
Method: Distilled (Contract)
Location: Dunnet Bay Distillery, Highland, Scotland
