Explorer’s Gin (70cl, 44%)
This month’s featured gin is Explorer’s Gin by Downton Distillery! Founded by Head Distiller Hugh Anderson on the grounds of Sir Walter Raleigh’s former home in Downton, the distillery is now located a stone’s throw away, on the vineyards of Domaine Hugo and Offbeat Wines. Yet their spirit of adventure, inspired by Sir Walter Raleigh, remains.
Background
In 1584 Raleigh was awarded a Royal Warrant to set sail to explore and discover the ‘New World’ and bring back tobacco,
potatoes and red cedar. This cedar was planted in the distillery grounds and forms a key botanical component within
their first and most successful product, Explorer’s Gin
Taste Profile
Juniper appears at the forefront, followed by bright bold citrus flavours; pink and sichuan pepper provide warmth and lemon verbena a creamy texture. As the sichuan oils oxidise on the tongue it provides subtle menthol notes which enhance the tail notes of fennel and liquorice, the final flourish that lingers in the mouth.
Featured Cocktail
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our website and social channels throughout the month to see our great range of gin cocktails.
