OUR GINS
Working with sustainable partners, we ensure that every drop reflects our commitment to ethical craftsmanship. For the discerning palate, embark on a journey that’s bold, refined, and quintessentially Bristolian. Introducing our four flagship gins...
Sloe Berry Gin
Pre-order is now available for our handcrafted Sloe Berry Gin. Orders will begin shipping the week commencing 17th November.
Rooted in British tradition and crafted for the colder months, our Sloe Berry Gin is a bold, full-bodied take on a timeless classic. Steeped slowly for over six months, it draws out rich, dark fruit and warm spice for a deeper, more indulgent expression.
We source handpicked sloe berries from the windswept plains of Norfolk and Suffolk. After harvest, the berries are frozen to split their skins, a gentle method that unlocks their signature jammy depth. They’re then infused into our Hotwells Gin, chosen for its mellow heat and understated citrus, allowing the fruit to take centre stage.
Once pressed, we elevate the spirit with a bespoke botanical distillate featuring tonka bean, cassia bark and select aromatics, adding a gentle sweetness and a long, rounded finish.
Enjoy it neat or gently warmed with a twist of orange peel - dark, elegant and layered with character.
Or try Pete’s Sloe Negroni: equal parts sloe gin, campari and sweet vermouth, stirred over ice and garnished with orange. A wintry twist on a classic serve.

Bold and unmistakable, our London Dry Gin is a masterclass in balance and depth. On the nose, juniper takes centre stage, accompanied by a warm peppery spice and bright citrus peel. The palate is rich and smooth, marrying classic juniper with zesty citrus and a warming blend of cardamom and lime leaf. As you savour it, peppery cubebs give way to a spiced finish of coriander seed and cassia bark, with lingering citrus peel ensuring perfect harmony.

On the palate, juniper blends effortlessly with floral pepper notes from cubebs and grains of paradise, while cardamom and lime leaf add a zesty, herbal complexity. The finish is dry, with a lingering warmth that’s rich with spice.

The palate is full-bodied and complex, offering juniper, zesty orange and lemon peel, and rich blackberry undertones. Floral lavender adds a fresh note, while the finish lingers with cassia, clove, and elderberry, all balanced by bright citrus peels.
