The distillery says "Inspired by the Orkney Island’s history, character and beauty, Aatta - meaning 'eight' in Old Norse is distilled an impressive eight times with eight botanicals. To our knowledge, our Aatta Gin and Orkney Akvavit are the only spirits hand crafted in the UK distilled this many times, creating a silky-smooth spirit.
The final distillation is achieved over a lengthy 24 hours+ with eight whole botanicals (another key feature making this gin utterly delicious) including fresh zesty oranges, hand-picked rose hips, bright juniper, and a little whole vanilla for a long smooth finish."
