Dressed in luxurious red, this deliciously herbal Scottish gin features thyme, citrus, and hints of tea.<\/p>\n<p>It is inspired by the Moorland Tea that Robert Burns is reputed to have enjoyed and is made to a unique recipe. It was developed by Scottish distillery, Dunnet Bay Distillers, with the traditional Toast to the Lassies in mind &#8211; the traditional way to celebrate the end of the Burns Night meal.<\/p>\n<p>This gin contains notes of\u00a0bilberry leaves,\u00a0strawberry leaves,\u00a0heather tops,\u00a0speedwell, and\u00a0wild thyme, ingredients found in the Moorland Tea that Robert Burns apparently enjoyed.\u00a0 Serve simply, with tonic and a slice of your favourite citrus fruit to complement the citrus notes present in this spirit.<\/p>\n<p>This is a G and \u2018tea&#8217; to make the evening shine poetically. We mustn&#8217;t be selfish: consider sharing just a wee drop with the men in your lives, too.<\/p>\n<p>And to borrow from Robert Burns&#8217; own words, albeit about the haggis: &#8220;Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware&#8221; (translated as &#8220;Old Scotland wants no watery stuff&#8221;) &#8211; so make sure you have a bottle of this strong (41.5%ABV) spirit ready and let the celebrations commence.<\/p>\n<p>RRP: \u00a334 for a\u00a0 50cl bottle, is available from\u00a0<a title=\"Protected by Outlook: https:\/\/www.dunnetbaydistillers.co.uk\/shop\/rock-rose-lassies-toast-gin\/.
