It’s the month of love and this February, we’re sharing a delicately floral gin, blushing with notes of rose and hints of raspberry. The only other place you’ll find this gin is in Booths, so it’s a real treat for our gin club members.
Distilled rose and raspberry, Ryan worked hard to make sure this gin isn’t overpowering with perfume-y notes. He says…
“This gin was a task for me as personally, I don’t like floral gins. I was challenged to create something that was subtly floral with hints of sweetness.”
“My plan was to add juicy fruits and other botanicals to balance out the floral note, leaving a predominantly raspberry flavoured gin – well-balanced with slight floral undertones is how I’d describe what I achieved.”
“With this being made exclusively for Booths when the gin launched, I headed down to local stores in Barrowford and Preston to offer tastings and promote the product. From the feedback gathered whilst I was there, my mission was complete as I had comments from customers who said they might not ordinarily try a rose gin due to the flavour profile, but they really enjoyed it and were glad they did.”
“I hope you give it a try and enjoy the balance of flavours.”
This product launched in Booths stores last year and we had fun creating the not only the gin, but the label too. Here are some examples of labels we sent to our buyer at Booths whilst we were developing the product – do you have a fave?
Delicate and elegant, this gin is best served with a light tonic and garnished with berries and a slice of lemon.
