Trevethan Honey Oak Cornish Gin
Trevethan Honey Oak Cornish Gin has a very subtle honey oak flavour. The oak and Cornish honey helps to enhance the earthy juniper, citrus and floral notes that this Trevethan gin offers. Whilst there are other oak gins on the market, most of them have been barrel aged – similar to the ageing of whisky. This changes the flavour profile from a gin, with its botanical notes, to a more tannin flavoured spirit like. Trevethan’s honey oak gin has been created through a novel steeping process. This process involves using “green” Cornish oak blocks from the heart of the tree; this is where most of the natural sugars and tannin reside. The blocks are immersed in Cornish honey for a period allowing the wood to draw in the honey flavour. The oak is then decanted out of the honey and left to steep in Trevethan Cornish gin. Over a period of 6-8 weeks the gin starts to colour up with the diffusion of honey and oak tannin and natural sugars being released from the wood. Fever-Tree’s clementine & cinnamon tonic goes very well with this honey oak gin but as this is a limited edition tonic, Fever-Tree’s Mediterranean tonic would also work well. Garnishes can include apple and ginger, apple and cherry or apple and cranberry. This gin is also delicious as a warm toddy on cold winter evenings. Warm mulled apple juice and add the gin with a slice of ginger and apple. It also serves very well on its own with ice.
Wicked Wolf Exmoor Gin
Wicked Wolf Exmoor Gin is a small batch artisan gin made in the wilds of Exmoor National Park by Husband and Wife team Pat Patel and Julie Heap. Made from 11 botanicals producing complex layers of citrus and pepper notes finely balanced with the distinct flavours of juniper and coriander. This results in a mature premium spirit where Hibiscus and kaffir lime leaves have been artfully blended with these traditional botanicals, thus creating a familiar traditional flavour with a contemporary yet restrained character. Made in tiny 25 litre batches, each botanical if distilled separately and then carefully blended to achieve a consistent style through from batch to batch. This time consuming and labour intensive process results in a lovely smooth gin, full-bodied but also elegant in style. The full list of botanicals are as follows; Juniper, Coriander, Lemon Grass, Kaffir Lime Leaves, Cardamom, Grains of Paradise, Cubebs, Lemon Peel, dried Orange Peel, Agelica Root and Hibiscus. This has proved to be an extremely popular gin and, as you can see by the customer reviews, it’s popularity is apparent. Due to the very limited volume produced during the distillation if this gin, this product has a tendency to go out of stock but rest assured we will always be getting more as and when it's available.
