Great Taste Awards 2019

We have news...Great Taste Awards 2019 news.

We are as utterly chuffed as a chuffinch to be able to tell you we have more Great Taste Awards! ???

Festive Tipple also known as "Christmas in a Glass"! Festively spiced London Dry Gin delicious served on its own as a warm dram. Or you can classic serve with tonic and ice.
Judges commented: A nice warmth of cinnamon, citrus and clove with spice first then a tender kick of alcohol continues into a long sweet spice finish. 43%ABV

How about a Festive Breakfast Martini?

50ml Festive Tipple Gin
15ml Cointreau
5ml Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon of Shed One
Gin Jelly Marmalade
Ice
Mix, strain, serve & enjoy!

Fancy Frolic inspired by the fancy frolicking of our Border Terrier, Gertie.

Great Taste Award Judges commented: A really pronounced aroma of fresh lime, punctuated by some spices to give it appeal. The flavour is really well-balanced, with lots of the fresh lime character. With a good intensity from the alcohol to give it some punch. A vibrant tasting gin. 43%ABV

Chilli Fest (made with chillies grown by our lovely friend Becky, founder and owner of Erda Botanicals)

We distil a gin with fresh zest and layers of spice. Then we infuse locally-grown chillies, giving our Chilli Fest gin its distinctive yellow hue.
Judges Comments: The nose has hints of Indian spices and a warmth that is very pleasant. The chillies are very nicely integrated and the heat remains throughout the palate.

Cuckold's Revenge Gin Jelly Marmalade also received a Great Taste Award. We make our marmalade with the fruit not needed in our spirit-making, we only need the zest. Zoe mixes it all with juniper and other botanicals and adds a splosh of gin to finish. Part of every sale goes into our Marmalade Fund. This is donated to charity.

They join our Great Taste Awards for Cuckold's Revenge &  Shed Loads of Love.

Many, many thanks to you all for your continued support and encouragement. Cheers!
