England's Gin Tea
Most gins macerate and distill; Silent Pool brews. Botanicals are first steeped in high-proof spirit as a "gin tea," the plant material removed before distillation, then fresh pear, orange, lime, and local Albury Estate honey join the mix in a copper pot still. The result is one of England's most floral gins: violet, lavender, and chamomile up front, juniper underneath, honeyed spice on the finish. A London Dry in style with a perfumer's touch.
Tasting Notes
Floral nose — violet, lavender, lime leaf, citrus, and pear. A rich, floral palate with juniper, honey, chamomile, and kaffir-lime citrus; a long, warming finish of honeyed spice.
How to Enjoy
The official serve: premium tonic with an orange zest twist. It also makes an exceptional floral martini and a fragrant gimlet — keep garnishes floral or citrus, never heavy.
