Gin

There are eleven botanicals used in Misty Isle: juniper, coriander, black cubeb, grains of paradise, angelica root, cassia bark, liquorice root, lemon, lemon verbena and orris root; and the eleventh is a secret island ingredient that only the two brothers know. All Alistair would tell me when I tried to push him on the elusive botanical, is that it is foraged on Skye and dried to a crisp, then mixed in with the orris root. The gin is distilled in the three 100-litre traditional copper pot stills, then the baskets of botanicals are introduced to add the unique flavour profile.
