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!
Fresh and full of flavour, with herbal notes leading into piney citrus, chilli spice and candied citrus, with peppery fruitiness lingering.
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!
Beautiful Gin which is clean and crisp, highly recommended.
Love this Explorer’s Gin!
I absolutly love the design of the bottle?all the details are perfect??The taste of the gin is perfect for summer coctails.
