A popular distillery on Skye has just released a 'spooktacular' new gin that's perfect for embracing the Halloween Spirit.
Isle of Skye Distillers announced the launch of the Misty Isle ‘Spookily Spiced’ Gin on their social media.
The new spirit features notes of spicy pumpkin seeds and is an ode to the ghosts that are said to haunt the island they call home.
Speaking about the inspiration for the new gin, a spokesperson for the distillery said: "Full of mystery and legends, our island home is the inspiration for our premium craft gins.
"When next travelling on a dark and eerie night across Skye, be sure to watch out for the ‘ghost car’ - rumoured to be a ‘1934 Austin’. ⠀
"Reported by many, witnesses claim that they have been forced to pull over allowing the Austin to overtake, whereupon the car instantly vanishes. Sightings of the Austin date back to the 1940s.
"It is thought that the ghost driver of this car was a local church minister, who lost his mind with guilt after having been involved in a fatal accident."
The limited edition release is based on their original Misty Isle Gin and is bottled at 40% abv. ⠀
Featuring notes of "spicy pumpkin seeds and aromatic citrus with a hint of vanilla", it's currently priced at 20% off at £27.20 (normally £34) with free delivery on orders from their website.
Skye-born brothers Alistair and Thomas Wilson, who founded the distillery and are based at Portree of the island, recommend that you enjoy the new gin with a Scottish tonic water and a slice of fresh orange to "enhance the spooky spices".
