Production Process:
Mermaid Gin is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The process begins with the careful selection of botanicals, many of which are locally sourced from the Isle of Wight. The botanicals are steeped in grain spirit for 24 hours to extract their full flavor profiles. The infusion is then distilled in a traditional copper pot still, ensuring a smooth and refined spirit. After distillation, the gin is rested for a period to allow the flavors to marry and mellow, resulting in a well-balanced and harmonious gin.
Distillery Background:
The Isle of Wight Distillery, founded in 2014, is the first and only distillery on the Isle of Wight. It is committed to producing high-quality spirits using local ingredients and sustainable practices. Mermaid Gin, introduced in 2015, quickly gained popularity for its exceptional taste and striking bottle design, which is inspired by the natural beauty of the island and the mythical mermaid.
 
Sustainability Commitment:
Mermaid Gin is produced with a strong focus on sustainability. The distillery uses ethically sourced botanicals and operates with a zero-plastic policy. The bottle is made from recycled glass and features biodegradable labels and a natural cork stopper. This commitment to the environment makes Mermaid Gin not only a delicious choice but also a responsible one.
