The recent addition to Warner Edwards beloved circle of relatives, and a gin with real provenance. They’ve sourced a crop of rhubarb that was once at the start grown in the kitchen gardens of Buckingham Palace all the way through the reign of Queen Victoria, and has since had reasonably a journey. Half of the crop was once sent to the Vice Regal Lodge in Dublin, which later became the President’s House. It has now made its as far back as Crown Estate land in Lincolnshire, and is being organically grown by Fraser M Key. The remaining half left in the grounds of Buckingham Palace was once destroyed all the way through The War, which makes our rhubarb very special indeed.W.E use our Harrington Dry Gin with 11 botanicals; juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, cinnamon, orange peel, black pepper, lemon peel, cardamom, dried elderflower, ground nutmeg, and one secret, as the base for our Victorias Rhubarb Gin.The rhubarb is thick and fibrous, so they freeze it to break it down and once thawed, they squeeze it through a cider press. Sugar is added to balance the acidity of the rhubarb and it’s then blended with the 89% Harrington Dry Gin to bring it to 40%. An amazingly British drink! Spicy gin and robust rhubarb dominate, leaving you with a full and creamy mouth feel. Its delicious sipped neat, and comes alive with the addition of tonic water or ginger ale.
Deep rhubarb flavour.
Complex at the palate.
Amazing cocktail gin.
