The Otterbeck Distillery has teamed up with Captain Sir Tom Moore to create a London dry gin which will raise funds for The Captain Tom Foundation! Moore met the Otterbeck Distillery co-owner Dougie Lampkin during the making of a TV show about Moore, and the two shared an affection for the Yorkshire Dales and vintage motorbikes. While checking out Lampkin's motorbikes, Moore also got a chance to see the distillery, and joked that he'd like to have his own gin one day - and that day has arrived! Otterbeck have told us they are making a donation to The Captain Tom Foundation for every bottle sold, which supports charities like The Royal British Legion and Mind.
Softly herbaceous with thyme, rosemary and juniper, plus a splash of lemon zest coming through clearly.
I am a recent convert to gin , and was very pleasantly surprised when I had my first drink.This , to me , is a superb gin, well balanced , not too heavy , but giving the full bouquet and aroma of a country garden. I felt that it was well worth the money , as I had not enjoyed some of the cheaper gins I had purchased.I have checked , and it is sold out at present , and I have joined the wishlist for when it comes back into stock. I feel that it will become a staple in my drinks collection. Thank you Sir Tom and Dougie Lampkin from Otterbeck Distillery.
