The Aberturret Gin

The Aberturret Gin brings fourteen selected botanicals into a London DryLondon DryA style, not a place of origin: every flavour comes from distilling natural botanicals. After distillation only water and a trace of sugar may be added, with no flavouring or colouring.GlossarySee London Dry gins made at The Glenturret in Crieff, Scotland's oldest working distillery. It is enhanced with a portion of Glenturret Single Malt New Make Spirit and bottled at 45%, giving the gin a subtly malty foundation beneath juniper, citrus, pine, pink peppercorn, chamomile and sumac.

Juniper and grapefruit provide the first sharp line, followed by lemon, lime and the cool resinousResinousAn aroma reminiscent of pine or fir resin. It is juniper's signature, due to compounds such as pinene.Glossary lift of pine. Pink peppercorn and clove add spice, while chamomile and sumac create a softer floral-tart detail around the middle of the palate.

The palate should be read through the same sequence: juniper gives the structure, while the supporting botanicals provide lift, texture and length. At 45% ABV, the concentration is sufficient for a full glass of ice or a measured stirred serve. The finish is best understood through balance rather than a single dominant note, with the aromatic layers remaining clear after dilutionDilutionThe water added by melting ice. In the right amount it opens the aromas and softens the alcohol; too much flattens the drink.Glossary.

Named after Aberturret House, the former dower house of the Murray Clan, it carries the distillery's whisky history into a dry ginDry ginGin with no perceptible sweetness: in the European Union, the word "dry" allows at most 0.1 g of sugar per litre.GlossarySee Dry gin gins with genuine structure. That context matters because it explains the recipe without replacing the tasting experience. This is a bottle to approach slowly, first on the nose and then with a small sip, allowing its drier, brighter and more rounded elements to arrive in turn. It suits drinkers looking for a gin with a recognisable point of view and enough detail to reward a simple serve.

For a signature gin and tonic, pour 4 cl over clear iceClear iceIce without air bubbles, made by slow, directional freezing. Denser, it melts more slowly and dilutes less.Glossary, add 10 cl Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water and finish with grapefruit peel and one chamomile flower. The garnish is intentionally restrained: it should reveal the recipe, not turn the glass into decoration. Use cold ingredients, clear ice and a gentle stir so the aroma stays focused from the first sip to the final one.
