Hopefully you all know us as one of the leading providers of top-quality gin in the whole wide world and have enjoyed a drink or two of our multi-award-winning bottles (not to brag, but when you’ve got plenty of shiny medals it’s hard not to bring them up).
Part of our commitment to creating a range that prioritises flavour, innovation and fun means that we’re always making new and exciting booze with all kinds of weird and wonderful botanicals and profiles.
Some of these are limited-edition gins, which we’d like to draw your attention to today. Because when they’re gone, they’re gone. And we don’t want you missing out.
Oh, and we shouldn’t neglect to mention that our selection of limited-edition beauties aren’t only utterly unique and very tasty, but also made in collaboration with some of the finest distilleries around.
Let’s take a look at what we’ve got:
Cobnut Ghost Gin - Greensand Ridge
What is it? A London dry gin made with the spectacularly sustainable folks at Greensand Ridge (our Kentish neighbours, no less). It’s crafted from a host of ingredients including juniper, surplus raspberries and the star of the show, cobnuts, a type of hazelnut traditionally grown in Kent
What does it taste like? The soft, creamy spirit carries waves of summer berry, orange peel, mint and basil leaf, sweet juniper and savoury hints of cobnuts in support.
How should I drink it? The Flora Dora (Combine 50ml of Cobnut Ghost Gin, 10ml of raspberry cordial or framboise, 1/2 a lime and ginger ale).
Crème de Juniper - Spirit Works
What is it? California's Spirit Works Distillery worked with us to resurrect a long-lost liqueur and the results are spectacular. For Crème de Juniper, we distilled juniper berries with a red winter wheat-based spirit, sweetened it and then allowed it to rest in an ex-wheat whiskey cask. Beautiful.
What does it taste like? Rich, velvety smooth and mouth coating with intense juniper notes, vanilla and forest floor aromas intertwined with eucalyptus and a touch of peppermint.
How should I drink it? With ginger ale and a fair chunk of fresh lime.
Hot Sauce Gin - FEW Spirits
What is it? A team effort with the delightful FEW Spirits, this wonderfully crazy concoction was made by finishing some of the Chicago-based distillery’s bourbon in barrels that previously held bourbon and then hot sauce, which is then redistilled the bourbon with juniper, Guajillo peppers and Ancho chillies. A real one-of-a-kind, this gin.
What does it taste like? Tabasco heat, sweet tomato, vanilla, citrus juice, fragrant red chilli heat, savoury juniper and some candied lime sweetness.
How should I drink it? Few Red Snapper ( Combine 50ml Hot Sauce Gin, 150ml Tomato juice, dash of lemon juice and garnish with a lime wedge and celery stick)
Salt Marsh Gin - Greensand Ridge
What is it? Another fab collab with our lovely neighbours, this little treat was inspired by the salt marshes of Whitstable and features botanicals that you would find there.
What does it taste like? It’s a mouth-filling, oily and complex gin with notes of floral juniper, warming cardamom, vibrant grapefruit peel, liquorice root, creamy angelica, lavender, bay leaves and a mossy earthiness.
How should I drink it? Simply with Indian Tonic Water and a lime Wedge
