Lucky number seven. There's something about this number, its importance in different cultures spans the seven continents. There are seven days of the week, seven colours in the rainbow, seven dwarves, seven brides for seven brothers, and Ian Fleming of course made his character James Bond 007, before this title was passed to Lashana Lynch and about time too. So it was bound to happen that when you taste Seven Crofts Gin, you're immediately going to want seven bottles. Craft gin fans who were lucky enough to snap up some of the Highland Liquor Company's Experimental Series, have been waiting with bated breath for Seven Crofts. And it was worth the wait seven times over. This beautifully bottled gin takes its name from the seven small dwelling that gave birth the village of Ullapool, located on Loch Broom in northwest Scotland. It's handcrafted from seven botanicals - including juniper, pink peppercorns, cubeb, lemon peel and a secret blend of local ingredients - in a traditional copper alembic still. Clean, powerful and bracing - as you would expect from this part of Scotland - Seven Crofts Gin takes your taste buds for a ramble through a pine forest before warming the cockles with peppery juniper. Amongst the classic lemon peel and coriander flavours, there's also a highly unusual plum note. Serve with premium tonic and a slice of orange, or mix it into a Breakfast Martini invented by Salvatore Calabrese. Just make sure it's after 7 o'clock.£6.86 per 100.00ml
