This Bright expression is multi-shot, which is a gin distilling technique that concentrates botanical flavour. Juniper is still undoubtedly the star of the show, but as you add more tonic, it opens up those zesty notes of lemon peel and grapefruit. Nose: Heavy has a warmer feel to it, with more spice notes and subtle florals, supporting the juniper.

In creating Height of Arrows, the distillers sought to create a gin that followed the same principle of utilising a few ingredients to achieve an abundance of flavour. Everyone sampled both with their preferred mixer and to put it simply, not everyone liked this one, when asked why most comments were because it is stronger flavour that remained longer on the tongue.

To create Bright we use over three times the amount of juniper we use in our first expression of Height of Arrows. Height of Arrows showcases Juniper’s complex flavours, while additions of Isle of Skye sea salt and natural beeswax, marry with juniper to impart a further depth of flavour and create a layered texture.

All of the Height of Arrows iterations contain one botanical; juniper, which creates an abundance of complex flavours.Holyrood Distillery have created Height of Arrows Gin as a minimalist spirit focused around the excellence of juniper. Height of Arrows Heavy is an Old Tom style, so has a touch of sweetener added, post-distillation – in this case sugar. We use salt as a natural flavour enhancer, marrying with juniper to impart a further depth of flavour. The mouth feel evocative of a whisky experience is also achieved through beeswax and salt, lending layers of texture and full bodied flavour to the gin. On the nose, a balance of clean fresh pine and resin coupled with light citrus with orange zest and lemon on the palate.

Through a continuous process of experimentation and exploration, they’ve hit upon a game changer — a gin that will make waves in a saturated sector and help build a foundation for Holyrood now and in the future. This gin is produced by the Holyrood Whisky distillery in Edinburgh to the same exacting standards as their whisky. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. By focusing on Juniper alone, Height of Arrows showcases all of Juniper’s complex nuances and flavours that range from fresh pine and bold citrus to peppery spice and beyond.Height of Arrows represents a new drinking experience for the everyday gin drinker and gin connoisseur alike. Old Tom gins were sweetened, and we have used this style to round out the deep bold flavours created with roasting the juniper. The sole botanical is distilled with salt and beeswax to help extract a broad spectrum of flavours from the tasty juniper berry.
