Tommy's Gin - Lest We Forget

Gin description

We have created a limited edition (45% volume) gin in memory of our late father Tommy Wilson. Tommy served in the Suez invasion and passed away in late August 2016. ‘Tommy’ is also a generic name and term of endearment for a soldier. Tommy’s Gin is unique and created differently from our main Misty Isle gin. It is a stronger ABV and we have used different botanicals, icluding Poppy Seed, Juniper, Coriander, Liquorice Root, Blaeberry, Sweet orange. Tommy's Gin has the sweetness of Poppy with small hint of liquorice, tartness of Blaeberries through the middle with a hint of sweet orange to leave a balanced citrus after taste. We take our imagery and artwork from inspiration from the Commando memorial, near Spean Bridge which we pass every week as we deliver our gin to the mainland. The memorial is one of the UK’s best – known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr. For every bottle of Tommy’s gin sold, proceeds are donated to local Military Charities.
