In Celtic folklore every house had a Brownie or Spirit, or in Gaelic, an Uruisg {oor-isk} to help with household chores. They became attached to particular estates, with whom they stayed for centuries. But from the island of Colonsay, tales of a something different began to emerge, tales of alchemy, tales of ALVA, a delightful, red-haired maiden, a very special Brownie with supernatural powers, a Gruagach {groo-ah-gak}. She somehow survived when her Viking long boat was smashed against Colonsay’s unforgiving rocks by a Tonn Mor or huge wave. She stumbled ashore and took shelter at Tigh na Uruisg {tee-na-oor-isk}, or home of the spirits, where she remains to this day. With an alchemist’s delicate touch, she transforms humble botanicals into gin. Not many get to see her beauty, but all get to taste her fabulous gin.
Tonn Mor is our version of a Navy Strength Gin, for the juniper lovers and gin collectors out there, it’s full of flavour and packs an alcoholic punch at 57% ABV. It makes a fabulous base for many cocktails or best served as a G &T over ice with Premium tonic and a garnish of either a twist of orange zest or a slice of green chilli.
About the Producer
In August 2016, husband and wife team, Finlay and Eileen Geekie, packed up all their worldly possessions, left behind the hustle and bustle of Oxfordshire, where they’d lived for over 30 years, and moved to their newly completed, self-build house, to start a new life on the tiny, remote Hebridean island of Colonsay. Their business provides them with the opportunity to combine their love of all things gin with their desire to create a viable future, living and working on this wild island, and, at the same time, make a significant contribution to the future sustainability and ongoing development of the local island economy and community as a whole.
