Sea Glass Gin – Premium Coastal Scottish Gin from Orkney

Sea Glass Gin is a multi award-winning Orkney gin distilled on the wild shores of the Orkney Islands by Deerness Distillery. This premium coastal gin Scotland captures the essence of island life, combining rugged Atlantic sea air with carefully selected botanicals to create a refined, modern Scottish spirit.

Crafted in small batches, Sea Glass Gin represents a true small batch gin Orkney, designed to reflect purity, balance, and authenticity. Every bottle is inspired by the sea-worn glass found along Orkney’s coastline, symbolising transformation, time, and natural beauty.

A Coastal Gin Inspired by the Scottish Islands

This is more than a gin — it is a true Scottish island gin, shaped by its environment. The Orkney coastline, with its clean air and powerful seas, directly influences the character of this spirit.

Sea Glass Gin delivers a crisp, refreshing profile that embodies the essence of a coastal gin Scotland, combining maritime freshness with elegant botanical depth.

Small Batch Craft Gin Distilled in Orkney

Every drop of Sea Glass Gin is distilled in our traditional copper still, Matilda — a 300L handcrafted still at the heart of Deerness Distillery.

This is a true small batch gin Orkney, produced using a traditional one-shot distillation process, ensuring maximum flavour extraction and purity. Unlike multi-distilled neutral spirits, this method preserves the full complexity of the botanicals, creating a richer and more expressive gin.

This hands-on approach defines Sea Glass Gin as an artisan gin Scotland, where craftsmanship and attention to detail come before scale.

Sustainable Botanicals Grown in Our Polytunnel

Sustainability is central to our distilling philosophy. We grow selected botanicals in our on-site polytunnel, reducing environmental impact while ensuring freshness and quality in every batch.

These home-grown botanicals are combined with carefully sourced ingredients to create a balanced and vibrant flavour profile. This reinforces Sea Glass Gin as a modern artisan gin Scotland, rooted in both tradition and sustainability.

One-Shot Distillation in Matilda Copper Still

Sea Glass Gin is distilled in Matilda, our 300L copper still, using a one-shot distillation method. This process means all botanicals are distilled together only once, preserving their natural oils and character.

Using pure Orkney water, this method creates a smooth, clean spirit with a distinctive island signature — a hallmark of true Orkney gin craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

Sea Glass Gin opens with bright juniper and fresh citrus, followed by soft herbal layers and subtle spice. A gentle coastal salinity runs through the palate, delivering a clean and refreshing finish that reflects its coastal gin Scotland heritage.

Award-Winning Scottish Gin

Sea Glass Gin is a multi award-winning gin, recognised for its quality, balance, and innovation. It stands proudly among the growing category of premium Scottish craft gins, celebrated both in the UK and internationally.

Bottle Design Inspired by the Sea

The bottle design is inspired by naturally weathered sea glass found along Orkney’s shores. Each piece of glass tells a story of time, transformation, and the power of the sea — just like the gin inside.

This makes Sea Glass Gin not only a premium spirit but also a striking visual expression of a Scottish island gin.

Perfect Serve

Serve Sea Glass Gin with premium tonic over ice, garnished with fresh citrus or rosemary. The botanical balance makes it ideal for both classic G&Ts and refined cocktails.
