Archie Rose Distiller's Strength Gin
Archie Rose · Archie Rose Distilling Co.
Archie Rose's distiller's strength bottling demonstrates why proof matters in gin—every botanical rings louder, and the juniper backbone can support more complexity without losing definition. It's a gin that invites both sipping neat and anchoring a stirred drink.
Nose
Juniper leads confidently but shares the stage with a wave of native botanicals—lemon myrtle and blood lime register as bright citrus, while coriander adds a warm, slightly nutty spice. Underneath, a waxy juniper quality provides depth.
Palate
The higher proof carries the botanicals with real authority. Juniper is resinous and piney, framed by peppery warmth and a subtle orris root earthiness. Grapefruit pith and angelica emerge on the mid-palate, keeping things dry and structured.
Finish
Long and peppery, with lingering pine and a clean citrus echo.

Isle of Raasay
Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin is a study in clarity through constraint — a tight botanical bill drawn from the island's own terrain, distilled with disciplined intent.

Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
