Launched in late 2016 by the Elgin-based Moray Distillery (founded by Jill Brown, who previously founded the Berry Good range of liqueurs), Avva Scottish Gin is made using a combination of classic gin botanicals as well as botanicals foraged in Speyside and the Highlands. These include dandelion, mint, red clover, nettle and Rowan berries.
Tasting note: Orange and lime peels arrive first on the nose, but are quickly backed up by refreshing, vegetal herbs. A crackle of peppery juniper lasts throughout.
