Created a stone’s throw from the Giant’s Causeway,
Giants Basalt Rock Gin is the epitome of controlled chaos.

We take basalt purified water from our 600ft well, use the most advanced distilling technology and apply molecular-level precision to create an unparalleled three-dimensional gin.

At Giants, we respect the things we can’t control, while going above and beyond to harness the power of the things we can.

Initially very fresh citrus, followed by juniper and hints of a savoury saltiness

TASTE

The initial fresh citrus comes over first followed by classic juniper with more sharp and warm spices, like ginger and cassia. These flavours give way to more unusual gin flavours that are hard to pin down – a fresh, sea-inspired saltiness. These complex flavours are harmonised by a mellow buckwheat-inspired mouth feel

finish

Peppery spices enhanced by the tailed pepper carries over into a long finish, that lingers in all three dimensions.
