Moorland Spirit Co. Sheffield Dry Gin
Moorland Spirit Co. · Moorland Spirit Co.
Moorland Spirit Co. draws on the botanical heritage of the Peak District moorlands surrounding Sheffield, and the result is a gin that feels rooted in landscape without becoming gimmicky. It's juniper-forward in the best sense—structured, balanced, and built for both sipping and mixing.
Nose
Bright juniper leads—more pine than herb—followed by fresh lemon and a subtle floral character. Coriander seed warmth sits underneath, with a hint of angelica root providing earthy depth.
Palate
Clean and crisp, with juniper and lemon working in tandem at the front. A peppery spice develops through the mid-palate, while grapefruit bitterness and a whisper of violet add complexity. The body is medium-weight, with good texture.
Finish
Medium-length, with lingering pine-forward juniper and a dry, peppery fade. Clean and precise.

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.

A gin that rewards trust in the process, and in the craft of blending tradition with innovation.
