WHITTAKER'S Gin 42%
Tasting Note
The gin is predominantly Juniper mixed with Coriander and Angelica Root. Bilberries (formerly known as Whortleberries) bring sharpness, complimenting the Juniper berries keeping the gin character intact. Hawthorne berries, which grow on the beautiful hardy trees and hedgerows throughout the countryside, bring background sweetness. Bog Myrtle grows on the stunning Yorkshire moors and has a spicy aroma and tastes both bitter and balsamic at the same time (rich like vanilla). Some breweries still use Bog Myrtle to produce sweet heather ale and in medieval times, it was used as an alternative to hops.
The mix is macerate for 24 hours prior to distillation. Just before it is distilled, citrus is added to the mix and delicate Thyme. The spirit is distilled using the London Dry Gin process to produce a truly first class gin. After distillation, it is then diluted using our natural Harewell water source to bring the ABV to 42% and left to settle and let the essential oils marry together before being hand bottled, batch numbered and labelled producing a truly authentic handmade gin.
