Copper House Distilled Gin 70cl Gin 40% abv
Adnams from grain to glass, our Copper House gin is distilled from East Anglian malted barley. Adnams Masterbrewer, Fergus Fitzgerald, makes a beer 'wash' which is fermented to around 6% abv without the addition of hops. Our head distiller, John McCarthy, then takes this beer and puts it through a beer stripping column which removes all the alcohols to create a 'low wine' (around 80 - 85% abv). The 'low wines' are subsequently distilled in our hand-made copper pot still and purified further in rectification columns to create a clean, pure spirit. The spirit is then returned to the copper pot still to be redistilled and infused with six carefully chosen botanicals to impart their delicate aromas and flavours.
Adnams First Rate Gin 48%abv 50cl
Adnams from grain to glass, our Copper House gin is distilled from three locally-grown grains: barley, wheat and oats. Adnams Masterbrewer, Fergus Fitzgerald, makes a beer 'wash' from these grains which is fermented to around 6% abv without the addition of hops. Our head distiller, John McCarthy, then takes this beer and puts it through a 'beer stripping' column which removes all the alcohols to create a 'low wine' (around 80 - 85% abv). The 'low wines' are subsequently distilled in our hand-made copper pot still and purified further in rectification columns to create a clean, pure spirit. Only the very purest portion of the spirit is drawn off; the finest cut. The spirit is then returned to the copper pot still to be redistilled and infused with thirteen carefully chosen botanicals. John spent several months experimenting with different blends to create the signature First Rate flavour with integrated aromas of juniper berries, spice and fresh citrus.

JENSENS - London Distilled, Dry Bermondsey Gin 70cl Bottle
Pine and lavender notes from Italian juniper rightly lead both the nose and palate of this traditionally styled gin. Coriander adds notes of ginger and sage, while orris root imparts subtle hints of parma violet. Sweet almond, liquorice and angelica soften and smooth while also adding further complexity to the flavour. Unlike so many gins these days, Bermondsey Gin is made to a very traditional London style. It is a true London distilled dry gin made only using the botanicals found in gins from the 1800s. Bermondsey Gin does not include cucumber, rose, grains of paradise or any of the other weird and wonderful botanicals introduced to gin making over the past couple of decades. Bermondsey gin is simply excellent, traditionally styled London distilled dry gin. Bermondsey Gin is the result of one man's experience and his dream of making his own gin. Back in 2001, Christian Jensen's banking job led to his living in Tokyo for a couple of years. One night after a particularly hard day at the bank he stumbled upon one of Tokyo's legendary hidden bars. Set in a high-rise building this tiny establishment comprised of one small, dimly lit room with an ancient plank that stood as the bar. The old man that stood behind it introduced himself as Oda-san, and said, 'you look like you could use a drink.' He set a crystal tumbler containing a clear liquid, garnished with a lime peel in front of Christian and explained that it was a 'Naked Martini made with pure gin from your city, London, nothing more.' The drink buzzed with flavours and over the following months Christian stopped at Oda-san's place almost nightly for the same elixir. Then one night, as Christian stopped in to say farewell to Oda-san, he handed him a gift; a bottle of gin, the label almost completely worn way except for 'don Gin'. 'Take this,' Oda-san said. 'The last bottle, the soul of London and its gin.' He paused with longing, 'no one makes this anymore, and once it's gone...' and his voice trailed off. Over the course of the following year, not a day went by without Christian thinking about Oda-san and the amazing gin. So started one man's quest to recreate the flavour of that authentic 19th century London dry gin.

EDINBURGH GIN 70cl Bottle
In 1777 there were eight licensed distilleries and almost 400 illegal stills in Edinburgh and the Port of Leith. As gin rose to become the fashionable spirit, Edinburgh distillers, like their London counterparts, produced gin from locally sourced ingredients. Then juniper berries, spices and citrus fruits arrived daily in Leith from all over the world. These exotic 'botanicals' were redistilled or 'rectified' together with the finest Scottish grain spirit in the time honoured fashion. Edinburgh Gin is a reminder of the days when Edinburgh was a centre of distilling expertise. It is batch distilled in 'Jenny', a much treasured Scottish copper pot still using traditional gin botanicals. Then The Spencerfield Spirit Company add extra Scottish Juniper as well as heather and milk thistle. Edinburgh Gin's clean citrus notes and aromatic Juniper make it the perfect base for a Gin and Tonic or Martini, not to mention many of the classic gin cocktails. The 1920's are known as gin's truly Golden era and in keeping with that theme, the bottle packaging has an art deco feel that reflects this wonderful period of cocktail parties and drinking sophistication.

CITADELLE - Gin 70cl Bottle
The recipe for Citadelle Gin was developed by a distillery in Dunkirk in 1771. Dunkirk was one of the first ports of call in Europe for many explorers sailing back from the Orient, whose ships were laden with exotic herbs and spices.

Although the production techniques have improved over the centuries, we still use the same 19 botanicals listed in the original recipe. Citadelle Gin is the only gin in the world made with 19 different botanicals, giving the gin a unique, complex, well-balanced flavour. The secret recipe is known only by the master distiller. In keeping with the traditions of the first European trading captains of the 17th century, only the finest spices are used.
