The stark contrast between land and sea is the inspiration for Whitby Gins botanicals along with the packaging and design.
Heather Flower is collected in collaboration with the North York Moors Authority during June – September. Whitby Gin also work with SeaGrown a seaweed farm based 5 miles offshore from Scarborough to gather forgotten flavours from the sea including sugar kelp and pepper dulse. Yorkshire Honey is one of the key ingredients and makes it’s way in to a number of different Editions.
You may notice a pearlescent glow when tonic or ice is added to Whitby gin. It can go from clear to cloudy because of the flavoursome oils released from the botanicals. This can happen because they choose not to chill-filter the gin. To do this would remove the oils and in turn reduce the bold flavour.
Production
Crafted on the wild North Yorkshire coast, the Whitby Spiced Rum is distilled with sea-buckthorn and pepper dulse, then rested in Madeira casks for a smooth, warming finish. With mellow notes of charred orange, cinnamon, and a hint of caramel, this is a UK craft rum that’s equal parts coastal soul and quiet fire. Aged by the sea, made to savour.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An initial aroma of scorched orange followed by elegant spiced overtones.
Palate: This lightly spiced rum has candied plum overtones followed by caramel whispers. The powerful coastal flavours fade into a pleasantly spiced finish.
