Rock Rose Gin – DUNNET BAY DISTILLERS
Added August 5th, 2015
The judges certainly enjoyed this hand-crafted gin, produced in mainland Britain’s most northerly distillery in Caithness. Described as “clean, crisp and zesty” with a “wonderful scent of citrus”, the gin is made with local botanicals that vary with changes in the climate. www.rockrosegin.co.uk

Added August 5th, 2015
From the crystal clear waters off Gigha in the Hebrides, this smoked halibut has a “delicate balance between salt and oceanic flavour” with a fresh finish. One judge considered this to be “one of the finest smoked products of 2015”. www.gighahalibut.co.uk

Added August 5th, 2015
The product is the result of a family quest to produce the best cheese biscuit in the world and it looks to have succeeded. These “intensely cheesy” sablés went down very well with the judges who liked the “crunchy but light” texture and full-on cheddar flavour. www.thepeagreenboat.com
