Product description
Sea Shepherd is a "brand" from the portfolio of the German company Kirsch Whisky Gmbh. The company has been operating since 1976, founded by Dieter Kirsch, and is a significant importer and distributor of whisky on the German market. Its offer includes Signatory and Edradour whiskies, Gordon & MacPhail, Ben Nevis, and several Irish and American "brands". The Sea Shepherd brand was created in cooperation with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, an organization dedicated to the protection of marine fauna, and is made up of Islay single malt whisky and gin. The latter, distilled in Germany, debuted in 2020. Its formula remains the creator's secret, we only know that it contains juniper berries, coriander seeds, grapefruit peel, chamomile and sea salt. Sea Shepherd gin, like whisky, is presented in a bottle bearing the organization's logo, and 10% of the income from sales goes to its account. (Official tasting note.)
