Moorland Spirit Co. Heather Moorland Gin
Moorland Spirit Co. · Moorland Spirit Co.
Moorland Spirit Co.'s heather gin captures the rugged beauty of the Peak District in liquid form. The wild botanicals — particularly the heather and meadowsweet — create a gin that tastes like place, not formula. It's a compelling choice for those seeking a gin with genuine terroir.
Nose
Herbal juniper opens with a waxy, resinous quality, followed by bright lemon citrus and meadowsweet. Lavender and heather floral notes give it a distinctly moorland character, while subtle angelica root grounds the aroma.
Palate
Crisp juniper leads on the palate with a green, pine-forward bite. Coriander seed and a touch of ginger provide warmth, while violet and lavender create a floral mid-palate that feels wild and untamed. A peppery undercurrent adds spice.
Finish
Medium, with lingering juniper pine and a clean, meadowsweet-tinged fade. Refreshing and dry.
