CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF MERMAID
2015 - 2025
To celebrate a decade of island distilling, we’ve reimagined our signature Mermaid Gin, enhancing the locally-foraged rock samphire with the unique addition of coastal fig leaves. These botanicals, nurtured by the Isle of Wight’s southern shores and sun-drenched microclimate, infuse this limited edition with a deeper expression of our coastal roots. Smooth yet complex, this harmonious infusion evokes a taste of our island home, with a hint of sea air.
MERMAID'S KISS
Our signature gin’s name was inspired by its lead botanical rock samphire, known locally as ‘mermaid’s kiss’. This aromatic
succulent clings to the cliffs surrounding the Island and marks the high tide line on its majestic beaches. Like the kiss of the mythical mermaid, saving sailors lost at sea, the rock samphire was a signal that shipwrecked sailors and smugglers were safe from the raging seas.
Island Microclimate
Capturing the essence of our island and its unique microclimate, we have enhanced locally-foraged rock samphire with the addition of coastal fig leaves foraged from the oldest fig tree at Ventnor Botanic Garden. The result is a warm, coconut and Mediterranean vibe, portraying an idyllic golden hour evening on our island home. With a higher abv of 46%, the botanical's natural aromas are intensified to create a unique celebratory spirit.
