<p>Our award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin is a delectable blend of nine carefully-considered botanicals, including local lavender from the Cotswolds&nbsp;and freshly peeled pink grapefruit and lime zest. Due to the unusually high volume of botanicals we use, our gin causes&nbsp;a beautiful pearlescent cloud to appear when ice or tonic is added. A juniper-led gin with fresh citrusy notes and a hint of lavender.</p><p><br><strong>CAREFULLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS</strong></p><p>Juniper berries, coriander seed and angelica root form the classic foundation for our Cotswolds Dry Gin. We then add Cotswold lavender from nearby Snowshill and bay leaves. The citrus element comes from freshly-peeled lime and pink grapefruit zest - unusually we use fresh peels rather than dried because of the greater quantity of essential oils. This entails peeling several hundred limes and grapefruits per week, by hand! The final botanicals are cardamom seed and black peppercorn, to give a hint of spice.</p><h2>Tasting notes</h2><p><strong>NOSE</strong></p><p>Fresh notes of grapefruit with earthy coriander backed-up by sweet, piney juniper.
