About this gin

This gin took 9 months of trials for our master distiller to complete and is designed to stand out and offer something completely different to other raspberry gins, which tend to be on the light side. We have made this using only fresh ingredients, NO artificial colours, essences or additives.

Our distiller, Nick, had the idea when he was served a raspberry dessert in an Italian restaurant with tiny dots of balsamic vinegar. The balsamic elevated the flavour of the raspberry quite incredibly! If you have never tried this, dip a raspberry in balsamic, taste it and you will know what we mean.

We didn’t want to put vinegar in the gin so we decided to rest the gin briefly in barrels that have been used to age balsamic vinegar of Modena. The idea is that you wont taste balsamic in the gin, its not a balsamic gin, only its presence will be subtly felt — in a really good way.

Fresh basil and pepper work wonderfully well with raspberries so we decided to use these too, along with Tuscan Juniper berries, in order to create a truly unique gin with delicious savoury notes, that works well in a cocktail or in a long drink mixed with aromatic or classic tonic water.
