Gin - The Gibson Edition

Picture it: A collaborative effort from the renowned head bartender at Islington bar The Gibson, Marian Beke and the second oldest operational distillery in Belgium, Copperhead. What a brilliant idea. Why hasn't this happened...? Wait - it already has! Yes, Copperhead Gin The Gibson Edition, is very much real and is ready to make your Gibson Martinis the best around with its unique savoury profile and bounty of flavours! The process of creating this bespoke gin began with Copperhead, who contributed its classic distillate made from five botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, cardamom, angelica and orange peel. With this forming the base, Beke then added 13 of his own botanicals, most of which were spices, including allspice, bay leaf, cassia, dill seeds, fennel, ginger, mace and pepper. Eight-year-old jenever was then added as a sweetener, as Beke wanted to avoid Old Tom territory by using sugar.
