William Kerr - Borders Gin (70cl, 43%)

"William Kerr's Borders Gin is 100% made in Scotland, hand-crafted at and by The Borders Distillery and distilled from local barley.

As the first distillery in the Borders since 1837, they are dedicated to capturing the spirit of the local area. The distillery is in a landmark building in the centre of Hawick, making them both familiar and new.

As an accomplished botanist, we think William Kerr would have quietly approved of the Carter Head still at The Borders Distillery. Its special feature is a copper basket that suspends the botanicals in the vapour of the original spirit. This gentle steaming captures the subtle aromas and complex flavours of juniper berries, herbs, roots, flowers and spices gathered from near and far. The result is a classic gin of outstanding depth and taste, best served with quality tonic and garnished with orange."
