Half Hitch
When you hear the word Camden, what do you think about? The music? The markets? Well, if you were around in the latter half of the 1800s, you might know Camden more for its gin (you also might be indestructible if you're reading this and were around in the late 1800s). Some of that history still exists - take a look at the street called Juniper Crescent, for example.
While those times may have passed, Half Hitch Gin is bringing gin back to Camden. Produced in the former warehouse vaults of Camden Lock, Half Hitch gin is made with a gin base that is blended with tinctures of Malawian black tea, pepper, hay, English wood and bergamot. The name itself was inspired by the knots used to tie barges to the Lock.
Citrus reveals itself first, and is swiftly followed by a bright delivery of herbal tea and black pepper. Subtle juniper comes through.
Peppery juniper and pine tree freshness take hold, supported by the complex black tea and bergamot.
Long and drying notes of orange peel, juniper and evocative tea notes.

Tried this Gin at the distillery, at Camden market. It is absolute fantastic - so many flavours! Tea/ pepper / Bergamot and much more. It's a must-try!
Had a taste of this last time in Camden (£5 for a strong g&t? Yes please!) Absolutely amazing gin, the Bergamot really comes through and offers up a sweetness that matches perfectly with a little Fever Tree. Highly recommended!
