Out on the wiley, windy moors, we took a flamethrower and made some gin… well, kind of. This is Smouldering Heights Gin, made in collaboration with Mason’s Yorkshire Gin, and is inspired by the annual heather burning that takes place on the Yorkshire Moors. This long held tradition helps to encourage new plant growth, providing new food for sheep and grouse. The gin is packed with lively floral and fruity notes with a lingering hint of earthy smoke in the background. Its botanicals include beech- and peat-smoked malt, heather, and Szechuan pepper. It makes a rich and robust Negroni and a delightful (Fire)Station Master.

Tasting Notes: 

Nose: Creamy lemon mousse and buttery biscuits come through on the nose, with just a touch of leafy aromas.

Taste: Luscious lemon shines through alongside a peppery warmth. Soft vanilla flavours balance the citrus and spice perfectly.

Finish: The creaminess re-enters, before leaving lingering smokey citrus flavours.
