    Product details

    Downton Distillery Explorer's Gin

    Downton Distillery can be found on the Wiltshire Downs overlooking Downton and the River Avon. For Explorer's Gin, botanicals are both macerated and vapour infused. Among pink pepper, bay leaf and Sichuan pepper, the star botanical here is Western Red Cedar, initially brought over from America in 1852 and now grown in the distillery garden. Which brings us to the inspiration behind the gin, the Golden Age of Exploration, when from the 15th century through to the 17th century European ships travelled around the world just generally exploring things. It seems only fitting then that there aren't any recommended serves with this one, only to explore and find what you enjoy!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Fresh and full of flavour, with herbal notes leading into piney citrus, chilli spice and candied citrus, with peppery fruitiness lingering.

    “Came across the gin at Junipalooza this year. It is nothing like I usually have and the cedar is clever twist to their heritage and history. The gin is a London dry with a core citrus profile. To taste like a roller coaster - juniper, citrus, creaminess from verbena, then warmth from the peppers. There were some around me who picked up hints of mints and aniseed. I have had this on the rocks and enjoy it with tonic and citrus peel. They did recommend grapefruit. ”

    Reviews for Downton Distillery Explorer's Gin

    Bold and good looking

    Wiltshire Gin based in Downton. Given to me as a present. I had to look this up as it was bold in flavour and design.

    Very interesting gin. Smooth and makes a mean G&T!
