Developed as a fruit-led flavoured gin, this expression combines a traditional gin base with tropical and floral elements, creating a profile that prioritises brightness and sweetness over classic juniper dominance. Produced in England, it reflects a contemporary approach aimed at accessibility and mixed drink versatility.
The base spirit is a neutral grain alcohol distilled with core botanicals such as juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, and citrus peel. Copper pot distillation is used to create a clean and balanced gin, providing a dry foundation before flavour is introduced. Passionfruit and mango are added after distillation using natural extracts and fruit flavourings. This method preserves the vivid tropical character, delivering both sweetness and a light acidity. Elderflower is also incorporated at this stage, contributing a soft floral note that lifts and rounds the fruit profile. The combination of these elements creates a layered flavour structure, where tropical fruit provides richness and elderflower adds aromatic brightness. A measured level of sweetness is included to support the fruit intensity and soften the overall profile.
Blending is carefully managed to ensure that the fruit and floral components integrate with the underlying gin. Juniper remains present but subdued, acting as a structural base rather than the dominant flavour. Water used for dilution is treated to maintain clarity and consistency. The final product sits firmly within the flavoured gin category, with a profile designed for easy drinking and mixing. The overall style is vibrant and fruit-forward, with a clear emphasis on tropical sweetness balanced by light floral notes.
