Pickering’s Pink Grapefruit & Lemongrass Gin Liqueur, 50 cl

Inspired by the pleasure of a Pickering’s Gin and tonic garnished with a slice of pink grapefruit, we have engineered our own decadent and refreshing gin liqueur. Perfect with Prosecco. Or tonic. Or even on its own. Our new and improved recipe is distilled here at Summerhall Distillery and contains real fresh fruit. May change colour in sunlight.

Product Description

Believe it or not, this multi-award winning gin only came into being in 2013. Before that, we (Matt and Marcus) had been friends and business partners for years, with backgrounds in engineering, furniture restoration and property renovation. We were working at Summerhall when we spotted the derelict dogs kennels from the small animal hospital that once stood in the middle of the old Royal (Dick) Veterinary School. What to do with it? As fate would have it, Marcus had recently inherited a gin recipe from a friend of his late father. Hmmm Add to that our mutual penchant for a good gin, and the next step seemed obvious. Never mind that we didnt, strictly speaking, have a distillery. We rolled up our sleeves and built one. Never mind that we had no background in distilling. We tried, tested and experimented until we were experts. Never mind that everyone told us it couldnt be done. We got on and did it. And so began the story of the Botanical Engineers.

Tasting Notes

Obvious fresh grapefruit influence, joined by hints of orange and lime too. Peppercorn, juniper, toasted almond and fresh ginger notes develop underneath.
