Downton Abbey Gin

The inspiration for this gin comes from the ‘Golden Age of Exploration’ during which European ships travelled around the world discovering both new continents and trading routes. Juniper provides the initial notes, but this gives way to the bright fresh citrus. Verbena provides a mellow creaminess, with the pink peppercorns providing the warmth at the back of the mouth. Western red cedar brings back those memories of being in a pine wood in the summer. As the szechuan pepper oil oxidises on your tongue it causes the mouth to start cool providing the subtle mint note. This then enhance the tail notes of fennel seed and liquorice providing the final flourish that lingers in the mouth
