When the nights draw in, a summery gin and tonic doesn't quite cut it. That's what Stirling Winter Gin is for: an award-winning, apple-infused gin built for cold evenings, open fires and cosying in.
Apples from the garden, spice from the season
Winter Gin is steeped in apples grown in June and Cameron's own garden, then layered with warming spices. It's the kind of gin you reach for in a big glass with the curtains drawn. Like every bottle in our range, it carries a piece of Stirling folklore: the wolf, the beast of Stirling. Legend has it that when Viking raiders approached, the town's wolves would howl and wake the people in time to defend it. A fitting guardian for a gin made to see out the dark half of the year.
How it tastes
This is a gin with a proper hug in it.
- Nose: a full hit of warming spice, allspice at the forefront rolling through cinnamon, ginger and orange
- Palate: an instant hit of apple strudel that warms you through
- Finish: a rounding creaminess, lifted by milk thistle and rhubarb root
How to enjoy it
Winter Gin is happy in a classic gin and tonic with a slice of apple and a cinnamon stick to echo the spice, but it really comes into its own warmed through. We built a festive Winter Gin cocktail around it, with lemon and a spiced red wine syrup, that tastes like Christmas in a glass. Serve it long and warming when the temperature drops.
Where it sits in the range
Winter Gin is the seasonal, spiced side of our lineup. If you prefer something you can pour all year, our flagship Stirling Gin is built around wild nettles, while Stirling Pink Gin brings the fruit. Browse the whole Stirling gin range to find your match.
