Pocketful of Stones Dr Squid Nautical Nocturne Gin

Tasting Notes

Dr Squid Gin has been lovingly made by Pocketful of Stones Distillery down at Long Rock, Penzance. 

Squid Ink is such a powerful ingredient that only a minimal amount is needed both for the distilling and colour or infusion of the gin. Vanilla was added to the base of the recipe to give a well-rounded mouthfeel and perceived sweetness, coupled with sea buckthorn for a tart, fresh fruit finish.

The gin is a savoury Mediterranean-style gin, from coriander, sea buckthorn and squid ink, with a smooth full mouthfeel from vanilla and a slight spice of pepper. Dr Squid Gin opens up when tonic is added releasing floral and citrus notes of meadow sweet and lemon.

Dr Squid pours black and when mixed with tonic turns a vivid pink. It also makes for a great Gin Mule when poured over crushed ice and ginger beer.
