Dunnet Bay Distillers will once again be releasing a limited run of its “The Lassies Toast” gin, which is inspired by the Moorland tea that Robert Burns is reputed to have enjoyed and is made to a unique recipe designed in-house.

With the “Toast to the Lassies” the traditional way to celebrate the end of the Burns Night meal, this wee dram has been designed as a drink "for the lassies".
