Pickerings - Gin 70cl Bottle

Product Description

Pickering's gin is based on an original Bombay recipe, handwritten on a fragment of paper dated 17 July 1947. Kept as a family secret for over 66 years, it only resurfaced in 2013 when the team (Matt & Marcus) began distilling at Summerhall. They have now fine-tuned the recipe, perfecting its balance of botanicals & tweaking it to the contemporary palate. The result is a spectacularly smooth, refreshing & flavoursome gin. The 9 botanicals
- juniper, coriander, cardamom, angelica, fennel, anise, lemon, lime & cloves
- are carefully measured & added to the grain spirit in a 500 litre copper still. Named Gert. The secret of the gin's smoothness is Gert's ingenious, custom-designed bain marie heating system. This provides a gentle all-over-heat to the still. Thus the botanicals enjoy a luxurious simmer that coaxes out their subtle, soft, highly drinkable flavours.
