Hampton Court Gin
A host of six different botanicals goes into this tasty dry gin, all of which grew in Henry VIII’s kitchen gardens at Hampton Court Palace, or were imported from afar for the king's elaborate feasts. Oranges, thyme, grains of paradise, cubeb berries, juniper, and bitter almond combine to create a delightfully rounded gin which ought to make an impressive G&T, garnished with a wedge of orange and some fresh sprigs from the herb garden. Now... Can you remember the names of Henry VIII’s six wives?
Smooth and silky with crisp green herbs, sweet wafts of orange zest, and floral juniper at the core, whilst gentle spices bring warmth beneath.
Drank it every night I stayed at Hampton Court Hotel and toasted the Thames! Tried to find ir retail for two days before I went home to the states.
