Pronounced ‘ooosh-ka’ from the Scottish Gaelic ‘Uisge – Beatha’ meaning ‘Water of Life’. This London Dry gin is blended from Scottish mineral water from the Cairngorms. This water passes through rock for 50 years before it reaches the spring in the Highlands, near Balmoral. Premium botanicals are vapour infused through copper for a smooth, clean taste that is a balance of fruits, herbs and gentle spices.

Distillation
The still is called ‘ Nancy’ (after Rachel’s Grandmother) and produces the Uisge gin via vapour infusion where the spirit is gently heated and the vapours pass through the botanicals to give a gentle flavour that is subtle, refined and definitely more-ish! These vapours pass through copper plates in the still where the magic really happens on a molecular level that gives a clean beautiful tasting spirit.
The fruit gins use a combination of this method with steeping the fruits in the still overnight before it is heated. These vapours when heated are then passed through the botanicals and infused, distilled through the copper plates to make a alcohol rich gin that is then blended with mineral water.

The range of spirits that we have will grow to the demand of our customers and we are already working to expand our portfolio introducing a ‘Fruits of the Forest’ gin and ‘Lemon Gin’ in early 2020 and expanding to a few different families of Vodka and rums at the end of 2020.
Serve over ice and a wedge of lime, with a tonic of your choice.
Rachel is working with WaterAid to off-set the footprint of the water that we use here and to raise awareness of water and its importance to our climate.
All of our ingredients are quality assured and have either BRC, ISO or SALSA accreditation.
