Subtle hints of smoke lie underneath zingy citrus notes.
The clean pine smoke from Lapsang Souchong tea excites the tastebuds and, as it settles, a candied sweet orange rises through.
The finish is long as the deep rich smoke lingers on the palate. The fresh citrus notes of lemon verbena and tangerine sage resolve into a sweetness on the back of the tongue.
A special edition in every sense to delight the senses.
The leaves of this perennial, woody shrub have a bright citrus flavour – ideal for adding an extra citrus layer of flavour. Grown in our distillery geodome.
According to popular story an army delayed the tea harvest in China and the leaves were laid over pine embers to speed up the drying process. This charismatic, smoky tea was created and is now just perfect for our need!
The humble orange is one of the hero botanicals in our Smoked Orange Edition! We use sweet orange peel in the distillation to complement the smoky notes from the tea.
This is part of our commitment to responsible drinking.
The perfect gin for the lover of all things smokey! This was a gift for my husband, who loves peaty whisky and lapsang souchong. He adores this gin. I do too, though I am definitely not a fan of that tea or very peaty whiskies! The orange flavour is beautiful. So, Dunnet Bay has got it just right and produced a distinctive and delicious gin.

The smoked orange gin is my favorite with a delightful orange taste with a hint of tea smoke! And refills come in a pouch too. Will recommend to all!

Great refill for our smoked orange gin – and the bag is already in the post back to Dunnet Bay!! Great smoked orange flavour with the smooth finish.

The Rock Rose selection is always my first choice for gifts. The Smoked Orange, however, has been a favourite. The refill pouch seemed like a ‘cute option’ according to my daughter, who claimed it may not get to be decanted. A good choice for short or long drinks, full of flavour and ‘a little bit exciting’ she said. ‘it’s a shame I have to share’.
