The Bottle
Mermaid Gin is produced by the Isle of Wight Distillery, a small craft operation located off the southern coast of England. Their Pink Gin begins with the original Mermaid Gin base, which features a distinctive botanical bill including rock samphire foraged from the island's coastline, alongside juniper, coriander seed, and fresh lemon zest. The pink expression gains its natural colour and flavour from the infusion of strawberries, adding a fruity dimension to the herbal and coastal character of the original spirit. This is a contemporary style pink gin, bottled at 38% ABV, that balances traditional gin botanicals with modern fruit-forward appeal. The Isle of Wight Distillery takes pride in their connection to the island's unique terroir, with the rock samphire lending a subtle maritime salinity that sets Mermaid apart from other pink gins on the market. The small batch production ensures consistency and attention to detail. Best enjoyed in a simple gin and tonic with a garnish of fresh strawberry or a twist of lemon, this gin also works well in lighter cocktails where its delicate fruit notes can shine without being overwhelmed. A solid choice for those seeking a pink gin with genuine botanical complexity rather than mere sweetness.
Worth Knowing
Distilled on the Isle of Wight with rock samphire foraged off the island coast among its ten botanicals. The sculpted bottle is entirely plastic free and took first prize at the IWSC design awards in 2019.
