Head distiller, Karen, herself had been working in the industry for several years in the city serving gin in her pop-up Gin Palace where she was regularly asked for Gin from the local area. This was the inspiration she needed to create her own recipe with a nod to the city’s Roman heritage. The family were looking to create a spirit with botanicals the Romans would have had access to such as tarragon, basil, cardamom and marigold although their main flavours are from quality juniper berries and baked Valencia orange which is beautifully crafted in their traditional alembic copper still named Isabelle, using a one shot method to retain all of the intricate flavours.
