Mermaid Gin from The Isle Of Wight Distillery

Rooted in the natural landscape of the unique Isle Of Wight island you will find the Isle of Wight’s first and only distillery. Founders Xavier and Conrad and their small team distil spirits shaped by the stunning surroundings, and the unique character of the island. Doing things differently, minimising waste, using ethically sourced and often local ingredients to craft a range of smooth, complex spirits. 

 As part of the distillery's commitment to sustainability, conservation and a circular economy, they are proactive in helping to protect the island’s marine environment. They have adopted a progressive and sustainable approach - gradually eliminating plastic from their packaging and supply chains, while using biodegradable materials wherever possible.

Inspired by the island's setting, they use ethically sourced and local natural ingredients. Rock Samphire is foraged from the shoreline, Boadicea hops are harvested from Ventnor Botanic Gardens and elderflower is handpicked from local fields, while strawberries are grown in the lush and sun-soaked Arreton Valley.

Slow distillation and local, sustainably sourced ingredients combine to craft a pure and perfectly blended range of spirits. Working with column stills, the distillation process is tightly controlled, capturing only the ‘hearts’ of each batch – the sweet spot of any distillation – for a signature smooth delivery.

Hand-crafted on the Isle of Wight using ten ethically sourced botanicals, Mermaid Gin delivers a smooth yet complex blend of fresh organic lemon zest and peppery grains of paradise, with a hint of sea air from locally foraged, fragrant rock samphire. A refreshing and invigorating serve, for the free-spirited.
