The botanicals recipe is a taste feast with juniper and other common botanicals like coriander, angelica, orange peel and orris root but also the less often used cassia and cinnamon bark, ground nutmeg and liquorice and one other secret ingredient, believed to be cucumber. Like all gins Martin must be reduced with water to its bottling strength of 40% abv. Miller's Gin however takes this to an almost obsessive extreme transporting the elixir on a 3,000 mile round trip to Borganes in Iceland to be blended with what is considered to be the purest water on the planet. Filtered through lava formed millions of years ago, Icelandic glacial water imparts a freshness and smoothness to the taste of Martin Miller's whilst also contributing greatly to its much vaunted silky texture. The end result of all this hard work is a gin that is gentle in the mouth with fragrant, slightly spicy aromas and a well balanced botanicals profile with strong hints of Parma violet and lavender.
