Mermaid Strawberry Flavored Pink Small Batch Gin

Mermaid Pink Gin is a contemporary, small-batch strawberry-infused pink gin from the Isle of Wight Distillery that adds vibrant berry character to the distillery’s well-loved Mermaid base. With a soft rosy colour and refreshing profile, it balances natural fruit sweetness with citrus lift, gentle spice, and coastal botanicals—ideal for summer serves or light, fruit-accented cocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Mermaid Pink Gin starts with the distillery’s signature Mermaid London Dry Gin—crafted on the Isle of Wight, England, using ten carefully selected botanicals, including lemon zest, grains of paradise, rock samphire, elderflower, and juniper that give the base spirit its refreshing coastal identity.

For the pink expression, fresh island strawberries grown in the fertile microclimate of the Isle of Wight’s Arreton Valley are gently infused and redistilled with the gin, creating vibrant berry aromatics and flavor without relying on artificial coloring or excessive sweetness. The result is a small-batch gin that feels both modern and naturally expressive, with a flavour profile rooted in real fruit and quality botanical balance.

Critics Reviews
There are no widely published professional scores from major spirits authorities (such as Whisky Advocate, The Spirits Business, or San Francisco World Spirits Competition) specifically for Mermaid Pink Gin. Community ratings and bartender feedback, however, are very positive—Mermaid Pink often scores highly with consumers for its refreshing, fruit-forward profile and versatility in cocktails.

Tasting Profile
Nose: Fresh and aromatic with ripe strawberries, citrus zest (lemon), and a soft juniper underpinning. The berry influence is lively yet delicate, complemented by hints of warm spice from the base gin’s botanicals.

Palate: Vibrant and juicy, with strawberry and subtle citrus fruit rolling across the palate, balanced by gentle herbal notes and a whisper of coastal salinity from rock samphire. The fruit character is prominent but not cloying—more bright and refreshing than overly sweet.

Finish: Smooth and layered, showing lingering berry sweetness alongside soft spice and a clean citrus lift that keeps the finish fresh and inviting.
