Crafted using Mayfield Sussex Hop Gin as the base, this vegan friendly gin liqueur only uses natural and ethically sourced ingredients. The label reveals another story from Mayfield Village, East Sussex, the tale of old Victorian railway nicknamed ‘The Cuckoo Line’.

Mayfield Rhubarb and Ginger Gin Liqueur is meticulously crafted by master distiller James Arthur Rackham, founder and owner of the esteemed Emporia Brands. James leverages over 15 years of experience distilling fine spirits to create liqueurs and gins of exceptional flavour, complexity and quality. Based on his family farm in East Sussex, James converted 18th century brick barns into a boutique micro-distillery where he makes small batch spirits celebrating the natural bounty of the South Downs.

Emporia Brands has gained critical acclaim for their artisanal approach and signature smooth taste. James oversees every step of the process from sourcing ingredients to bottling, ensuring a personalized touch and premium flavour profile. Known for his bold spirit pairings and knack for balancing flavours, James brings his refinement and expertise to Mayfield Rhubarb & Ginger Gin Liqueur.

The Production Method

James Rackham gives Mayfield Rhubarb and Ginger Gin Liqueur his full hands-on attention. Production begins with James’s multi-award winning smooth Mayfield Sussex Hop Gin which he redistills in traditional copper pot stills with a bespoke infusion of hand-picked forced rhubarb from a nearby fourth generation farm and fresh ginger root.

The rhubarb is harvested at peak ripeness for maximum sweet-tart flavour and rosy pink hue. The ginger adds warmer spice notes. Pure spring water from the downs is used to gently dilute it to the perfect ABV. James distils this liqueur in small batches which allows time for the rhubarb and ginger essence to properly permeate. Taking his time with the process enables a harmonious blending of flavours.

Throughout each step, James relies on his senses of sight, smell and taste to achieve the ideal balance and character. His painstaking attention results in a liqueur that perfectly showcases the rhubarb and ginger.

Tasting Notes

One look at the stunning pink colour is an inviting preview of the bright flavours within.

The tantalizing aroma exudes tart rhubarb married with earthy, pungent ginger. Upon first taste, the palate delights in sweet yet tangy rhubarb jam, made more complex by the subtle heat and zing of candied ginger.

The smooth gin foundation provides citrus botanicals and juniper depth. It finishes with just a kiss of sweetness, leaving a lingering taste of English countryside. Each luxurious sip takes you on a flavour journey – fruity then spicy, sweet yet tart – skilfully crafted by James Rackham’s expert hand.
