Darnley's View London Dry Gin
London Dry Gin
Darnley's View // Scotland
Added to their spirits lineup in 2010, this is the first gin released by the Weymss family, who are primarily known for their Scotch whiskies. This gin honors the legacy of Lord Darnley, who lived at Weymss Castle near Edinburgh, Scotland in the 16th century. The base is made from British-grown grain and six botanicals are used of which lemon and elderflower are the featured elements.
In fact, the elderflower is foraged locally in the summer months and dehydrated for later use. No artificial flavors or additives have been added. All botanicals not sourced locally are sustainably sourced from trusted farmers.

Tasting Notes
"The lemon and elderflower come through more on the aroma than the flavor, but isn't overwhelming as some gins using floral botanicals; juniper is still the star here. The gin is slightly oily which gives it a nice body while the finish is leans more bitter and spicy particularly with the coriander. The overall impression is that the gin is versatile and could play in any classic cocktail; how 'bout trying in a Collins for a refreshing cooler?"
