Spirit Profile: A fitting tribute to our Founding Father, George Bishop, who installed the first Maidstone Distillery in the County Town in 1785. This modern interpretation of the classic London Dry style is bold, complex and distinctively smooth. A perfect balance of 15 exotic botanicals, warm Mediterranean orange combined with delicate spice. Sweet citrusy notes from coriander and air-dried peels are balanced with the tangy piquance of tellicherry pepper, ambrette and perfumed chamomile. This gin is delightful with a mixer, or in a cocktail.
Bold, polished spirit. Woody and sweet. Fresh with citrus, with hints of vanilla.
Finish
A distinctly Smooth finish and warming sensation, leaving behind delicate floral sweetness and citrus.
Our recipe
Botanicals
Juniper
The central botanical to a London Dry Gin. We source three kinds of juniper from three locations, each bringing with it its own robust, piney flavour.
Sweet and Bitter Orange
The balance gives the gin its chewy, citrus mouthfeel. Thirst quenching and sweet, we source ours solely from Spain, where they thrive in the glorious sunshine.
Cinnamon
Brings a warm and spicy edge to the palate. Sweet, woody and reminiscent of the taste and smell of cloves.
Star Anise
Bringing just enough, but not too much, of an aniseed edge. Another sweet botanical reminiscent of licorice.
English Chamomile
Reminiscent of our countryside, brings a mellow and silky mouthfeel. Sweet like honey and floral on the nose.
