Tulchan Gin, a masterpiece from the renowned Speyside region, brings the spirit of Scotland to holiday gatherings with every tantalizing sip. This ultra-premium ‘London Dry’ style gin is a testament to the region’s legacy as one of the most illustrious whisky-producing areas. Tulchan Gin artfully captures the essence of Scotland by blending traditional gin botanicals with a selection of local flavors, including sloe berries, blackberry leaves, white asparagus, and elderflowers.
The exquisite combination of juniper, angelica root, licorice root, and unique Scottish elements gives Tulchan Gin a distinct character. It’s a harmonious blend that transports the drinker to the picturesque landscapes of Speyside, offering a taste of the region’s rich botanical tapestry.
Tulchan Gin isn’t just a delightful beverage; it also lends its distinctive flavor to culinary creations. One such hidden gem is the Rhubarb Tulchan Jam, a delightful concoction that beautifully melds the sweet and herbal notes of the gin. Perfect when paired with pastries, scones, or a freshly baked loaf of white bread, this jam is a culinary delight that complements the festive season.
Rhubarb Tulchan Jam
½ part Tulchan Gin
4 parts rhubarb
2 parts of preserving sugar in a ratio of 2:1
1 vanilla pod
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Sterilized jars with a screw cap
Peel the washed rhubarb with a kitchen knife. Cut rhubarb into pieces about 1-2 cm in size. Add rhubarb to a pot with jelling sugar, lemon juice, and the pulp of the vanilla bean. Mix well and let steep for 1 hour. While stirring, bring the mixture to a boil and continue to boil for 3-4 minutes until bubbling. Remove the pot from the heat and remove any foam with a skimmer. Immediately pour the jam into sterile jars, seal tightly, and turn upside down for 5 minutes. Invert again and allow to cool completely before serving.
Tulchan Tonic
1 to 3 parts Tulchan Gin
3 parts tonic
Orange wedge
Pour the gin and tonic into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a wedge of orange. Orange is sweeter and less acidic than lemon allowing the elegant character of Tulchan to shine.
For an ultimate experience, savor the Rhubarb Tulchan Jam alongside a classic Tulchan Tonic.
