Pinkster Raspberry Gin - 70cl 37.5%

Pinkster Gin all came about when founder Stephen realised wine and beer no longer agreed with him.

A keen maker of sloe liqueurs and other concoctions, he turned his attention to spirits and started experimenting at home, mashing assorted fruits with different spirit strengths.

It wasn't his intention to create a pink drink, it's just that after working his way through an entire fruit bowl, raspberry delivered the best flavour.

G&J Distillers, one of the world’s oldest gin distilleries, was recruited to the cause. They produce the core spirit with five botanicals to the original stunning recipe.

This is then macerated with a further three botanicals, including fresh raspberries grown locally to our rural base outside Cambridge.

Nose: Slight hint of orange peels with a subtle aroma of unsurprisingly, raspberries coming through.

Palate: Yet more fruit, in the background is a hint of pepper with vanilla. Raspberry of course the focal point.

Finish: Raspberries and a grassy hint of water mint.
