Our distillery prides itself on creating unique products that showcase our local area and leaves a lasting memory on the tastebuds. We use water from our aquifer in the South Downs in every single batch we create.
"Making a local gin that is so versatile and with so much care and attention, is something I pride myself on"
Adam Cowley (Creative Distiller)
Autumn is one of our favourite times of the year, here at our distillery in East Sussex. Taking the dogs out for a long walk on a sunny, chilly, misty morning is just the best! It's also one of the best times of the year to go foraging. All of our gins are made with 100% natural ingredients. There is nothing artificial about what we use to create our spirits. Whilst we are out walking with the dogs, we can be found foraging around in the local hedgerows to maybe find that perfect ingredient to help create some of our amazing gins and spirits.
Popular this time of year is of course our 'Sussex Sloe Gin'. Made with our classic Pure Sussex Gin and locally sourced handpicked Sussex Sloes. A perfect-tasting sloe gin, smooth to drink, a classic winter warmer!
Talking of long autumnal walks we have our award-winning 'Hedgerow Gin', from our Curiosity Series of flavoured Gins. Inspired by our surrounding landscape of walking around in the hedgerows and you, our customers. 'The Hedgerow One' is autumn in a bottle, fragrant and fruity. Palate of blackberry, apple, sloe, and rosehip. The finish is dry with a creamy spice. Earlier this last spring receiving a Silver Medal at the London Spirit Awards.
Autumn is the time of year to cosy up. Time to dig out those thick, warm jumpers and blankets for those chillier evenings (especially if you haven't put the central heating on yet!) and boy do we have the perfect accompaniment for treating yourself to a true autumnal warmer for those cold evenings! Our new and improved 'Quintessential Gin Punch'. A seasonal delight, our gin punch is sweet, spiced, and fruity with a gin hit! Simply heat gently in a saucepan and add a slice of your favorite fruit (apple or orange) drink and feel warm and happy!
