The Shetland Reel Wildfire is a limited edition gin, created by The Shetland Distillery Company in collaboration with Ann Cleeves, the renowned British crime novelist.
The gin is inspired by her latest book in the Shetland series, entitled Wild Fire. It is a well-balanced London Dry Gin, with classic notes of juniper and sweet spices, leading to a persistent and warming finish.
The recipe is based on traditional gin botanicals such as juniper and coriander, enhanced with carefully selected ingredients to provide a pleasant spicy warmth: black pepper, mustard seeds, dried red chillies, and locally grown sorrel. The latter, a plant typical of the Shetland flora, adds a herbal and slightly tart note, perfectly balancing the strength of the spices.

Colour: Clear, crystalline.
Nose: Opens with vibrant juniper and sweet spice, lifted by a subtle citrus brightness. Peppery and herbal undertones from local sorrel emerge in the background, adding depth and freshness to the bouquet.
Palate: Smooth and warming, with juniper at the core supported by black pepper, mustard seed, and gentle chilli heat. Herbal notes from sorrel bring balance, while the spice builds gradually without overwhelming the freshness.
Finish: Long, warming, and persistent, with a clean interplay of spice, juniper, and subtle herbal acidity that lingers gracefully.
