To celebrate a decade of island distilling, Mermaid has launched a limited-edition 10th Anniversary taste that marks craftsmanship, coastline and character – being launched this summer, with a collection of perfect serves and delicious cocktails being poured at the terrace at Wright Brothers Battersea, offering Londoners the chance to sip the coastal spirit without leaving the city.

Evoking the tidal feeling, the impressive Mermaid takeover at Battersea will see Mermaid’s curated selection of cocktails including its bespoke perfect serve: a crisp gin expression made from its 10th Anniversary Gin paired with Mediterranean tonic and finished with lemon-infused olives.

An exclusive 10th Anniversary expression will also be served as a special sun-drenched sample for visitors to enjoy with views of the station and the Thames – the ideal spot to toast a decade of Mermaid.

The reimagined elevation of its signature Mermaid Gin features foraged coastal fig leaves, sourced from one of the UK’s oldest fig trees – Ficus “Brown Turkey” planted in 1870 at Ventnor Botanic Garden.

Once a rare species to flourish outdoors in Britain, the fig’s ripening fruit is testimony to the Isle of Wight’s unique micro-climate and biodiversity that has long fostered the success of more delicate flora on the island.

Crafted as the purest expression of place, memories and mastery, this gin gives a sensory journey through time and tide. The addition of the fig trees’ unique leaves bring a soft depth to the gin – evoking sun-drenched shores, sea breeze, and notes of Mediterranean warmth inspired by the Isle of Wight’s coastal climate.

The latest expression offers a smooth, refreshing profile with citrus and creamy coconut on the nose. Bright citrus is balanced by coastal notes of rock samphire and gentle warmth, leading to a long, layered aftertaste and a rounded, shoreline-inspired character.

Only 1,500 bottles of this limited edition have been produced (46% ABV, £79 RRP), available online atisleofwightdistillery.com priced at £79 RRP
