Kirkjuvagr Orkney Gin
70cl
Alc. 43% Vol
Inspired Islands Spirit
Kirkjuvagr means “Church Bay” in Old Norse. Back when Orkney was emerging as a seat of power in the Viking Empire, the Norsemen would sail their longships into Kirkjuvagr, which over the centuries grew into the islands’ capital, Kirkwall.
In name, Kirkjuvagr Orkney Gin reflects the rich history of the islands and the boldness of those ancient seafarers. In character though, it’s utterly contemporary and has been crafted with the modern, discerning gin enthusiast in mind.
It is, quite simply, unmistakably Orcadian.
A Myth in the Making
When creating Kirkjuvagr, on the shores of Kirkwall Bay, they thought it fitting to seek out a connection to the Viking ancestors that ran deeper than just their name.
They then discovered a local legend that spoke of a variety of Angelica brought to the islands by Norsemen centuries ago, which can still be found growing wild today.
Naturally, this very Angelica is now one of the defining ingredients, complementing a distinctive blend of local botanicals, including Ramanas Rose, Burnet Rose and Borage. Uniquely, they’ve also used traditional Orkney bere barley in the recipe.
