Mermaid Zest Gin 70cl
A zesty, bright citrus gin from the folks who brought us the Classic Mermaid Gin
Description
Mermaid Zest Gin
Presented in a stunning "fish-scale" like bottle with a cork stopper, this gin has been hand-crafted on the Isle of Wight (a small island off the south coast of the UK) since 2014. The Isle of Wight Distillery use ten ethically sourced botanicals in the creation of their original Mermaid Gin.
With their seaside inspired Zest Gin, the Isle of Wight Distillery have created a truly zest, aromatic gin. They have infused the original Mermaid Gin with summer fruits and wild, foraged coastal botanicals. Island bergamot, lemon zest and grapefruit give the gin its refreshing zest, whilst cascade hops and rosemary add additional depths of flavour.
On the nose the grapefruit comes through, giving a bright and fresh note - which is joined with a gentle, piney juniper. The citrus and juniper come through on the palate as well, but are joined with a subtle sweetness and intruiging herbal notes. It finishes long with multiple layers tantalising the taste buds, leaving the mouth refreshed.
Did you know? The Isle of Wight Distillery care about the environment. In 2019, they completely removed plastic from their bottles. In 2021 they switched to only using 100% renewable energy suppliers at the distillery and in 2022 they achieved B Corp Certification - meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

Perfect Serve
This works really well in a classic Gin & Tonic. For the tonic we like both Three Cents Tonic Water, and their Aegean Tonic (continuing the seaside theme).
Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of gin. Gently pour over 150ml of your chosen tonic and stir well. Garnish with a slice of fresh lemon and (if available) a sprig of fresh rosemary.
