Bathtub Gin collaborated with London-based culinary creative force TART for this limited edition bottle design. An extraordinary award-winning gin, made using the traditional method of Cold Compounding (or in layman’s terms – infusing). Very high quality copper pot-still spirit is infused with ingredients including juniper, orange peel, coriander, cassia, cloves and cardamom, with the length of the compounding period controlled entirely by periodic sampling.
Packaged using brown paper, string and wax, this bottle is adorned with designs from TART's Lucy Carr-Ellison and Jemima Jones, inspired by the wild beauty of British winter. The team looked to festive folklore, untamed landscapes, starlit skies, and birds in flight, celebrating nature’s contrasts – the cold air outside, the glow within, and the magic found in gathering together. Time to invite all your pals for a round of Martinis and a good old get-together by the fire, we reckon!
An initially juniper-rich bouquet is backed up with a solid backbone of rich grain spirit. Top notes of cardamom and orange blossom are evident with just a suggestion of cinnamon.
The initial focus is juniper, but the earthier botanicals make themselves known in the initial palate too. Mouthfeel is exceptionally viscous and creamy – this is good spirit, and it makes itself known.
The juniper subsides and gives way to cardamom and cinnamon, with a late resurgence from orange peel.
A most unusual, but quite entrancing gin.
