The Hertfordshire-based Puddingstone distillery create their Campfire Gin in a pair of stills (named Isabella and Amelia), and allow a portion of it to mature in ex-bourbon casks from New York's Kings County distillery. Tasty stuff, perfect for enjoying by... Well, by a campfire, obviously. It's in the name.
The cask maturation has imparted a subtle earthy vanilla element to the gin, pairing well with the roasted hazelnut and coffee cherry notes. Juniper still stands sturdy at the centre.
We were lucky enough to stumble across this distillery a few years ago whilst on holiday. The cask aged gin is absolutely superb - a real standout flavour that give a beautiful twist to your g&t.
One of the core range of gins made by Puddingstone Distillery theIr Oak Aged is something different and well worth a try
Stunning sipped neat or try, as we did, in a negroni. We met the distiller who described this as complex and confused. Well if that's what makes a genius then it is
