Gentlemen, is your gin collection a bit… landlocked? Yearning for a touch of nautical mystique? Mermaid Gin (£41) promises to “free your spirit!” – presumably from the mundane grip of terrestrial beverages. Hand-crafted on the Isle of Wight – not exactly the Riviera, but charmingly… British Isles-y – since 2014, it boasts “ten ethically sourced botanicals.” Prepare for a “smooth yet complex blend” of “organic lemon zest,” “peppery grains of paradise” (ooh la la!), and a “hint of sea air.” Sea air! In your gin!

For the truly adventurous palate. The “mermaid’s kiss” botanical, rock samphire, apparently saved shipwrecked sailors. So, drinking this gin is practically an act of historical maritime gratitude. Expect “citrus zing,” “peppery spice,” and an “earthy sweetness,” rounded off with that evocative “hint of sea air.” Gift Mermaid Gin. For the gent who’s always wanted to taste the ocean… without the actual seawater, thankfully.
