We have always been impressed with the lovely gin produced by the good folks down at Eilean Iarmain. Their spiced gin, in our opinion, really is special. See below for a couple of cocktail ideas from Leah, the head distiller of Uisge Lusach gin. We have been hard at work testing these over the last few weekends!
