Based in the English countryside, this is Ribble Valley's second expression. The bottling pays homage to traditional country markets and vegetable patches that are commonplace around the distillery in Lancashire. The botanical list is rather unusual, with tomato, carrot and sweet shallots alongside beetroot, bell pepper, basil, pink peppercorn and wild thyme. As you can probably imagine, this is a rather green, vegetal and herbaceous gin, though with a balanced dose of sweetness coming through as well. Garnish with fresh basil for a particularly green serve.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Green and earthy, leading into sweet vegetal notes of carrot and tomato, alongside a wave of fresh garden herbs and a warming, peppery finish.
