The Orkney Gin Company draw inspiration from their islands rich culture, archaeology and traditions. The award winning gin takes a refreshingly modern twist on a traditional style, producing unique and distinctly Orcadian gin.
Johnsmas Gin is inspired by the long, clear days of an Orkney Summer where the sun barely sets behind the standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar. Fragrant, fresh and light, Johnsmas Gin is crafted using a variety of hand picked seasonal botanicals from our islands and beyond to capture the clean and refreshing floral notes of midsummer.
