Saint Sithney Cornish Elderflower Gin
Saint Sithney Cornish Elderflower Gin is a delicately crafted Cornish spirit that captures the soft, floral sweetness of elderflower against a clean, classic gin backbone. It opens with a gentle bouquet of fresh elderflower and hedgerow blossoms, lifted by bright citrus and a subtle herbal freshness from traditional botanicals. On the palate it is smooth and fragrant, with the elderflower presenting as natural and lightly honeyed rather than overly sweet, supported by juniper, soft spice, and a touch of lemon zest. The finish is crisp, elegant, and lightly floral, leaving a refreshing lift that makes it ideal for sipping with tonic, pairing with sparkling mixers, or enjoying in summery cocktails.
Trevethan Cornish Gin
Trevethan Gin has been created using Norman Trevethan's family recipe which dates back to 1929. Back in those days, it was usual for all manner of tipples to be hand made in small rural communities. This meant that each batch was unique with its own individual character. The recipe was revived by Norman's grandson, Robert Cuffe in 2015. The gin contains many botanicals sourced from around the world; Juniper, Coriander, Cassia and Angelica along with some less familiar botanicals like cardamom, orange peel, lemon peel and vanilla. Cornish elderflower and Gorse Flower from hedgerows around the family home, Trewonnard Farm in Treneglos, are also foraged and added. Once distilled, the gin is cut with spring water from their farm to 43% ABV. Trevethan is first and foremost a big hit of juniper both on the nose and the palate but underneath the initial juniper burst you get liquorice from the angelica and spicy cinnamon. Citrus notes from the lemon, orange and elderflower round this off followed by a final spicy kick from the cardamom. The mouth feel is smooth and slightly oily thanks to the gorse and vanilla elements. This is a big, bold gin that is steeped in fascinating history - certainly one not to miss!
