Moorland Spirit Co. Limestone Sheffield Dry Gin
Moorland Spirit Co. · Moorland Spirit Co.
Moorland Spirit Co. draws its water from the limestone aquifer beneath the Peak District, and that mineral character translates directly into the glass. This is a classically structured dry gin with a geological twist — the kind of bottle that makes you rethink what water contributes to spirits.
Nose
Pine-forward juniper opens cleanly, followed by bright lemon citrus and a subtle earthy minerality. Coriander seed and a whisper of angelica root add depth, with a gentle floral undercurrent.
Palate
Dry and structured, with juniper leading into coriander warmth and citrus brightness. The mid-palate has an unusual chalky, mineral quality that gives the gin its backbone. Angelica and orris root provide an earthy, grounding base that keeps everything anchored.
Finish
Clean and crisp, with lingering juniper pine and a dry mineral close.

Food Pairing
Grilled halloumi cheese drizzled with lemon and fresh thyme, served on a bed of peppery arugula — the minerality and citrus in the gin complement the salty, charred cheese.
Operating from the edge of England's Peak District National Park, Moorland Spirit Co. uses limestone-filtered water drawn from beneath the moors to distill gins that carry the mineral signature of northern England's ancient bedrock.
