There has been a massive evolution in fruit gins over the last few years. We have moved far beyond the artificial, overly sweet syrups of the past and entered a world where master distillers are using fresh, authentic produce to create spirits of real depth and character.
This collection gathers the finest examples of fruit-forward distilling. These are gins that capture the essence of the orchard and the wild British hedgerow. You will find the tart, vibrant energy of rhubarb and wild crab apple sitting alongside the deep, jammy richness of blackberry, sloe berry, and late-summer raspberries. We even explore the exotic, with bright bursts of passion fruit and the delicate sweetness of Asian persimmon.
These spirits are incredibly approachable, offering a naturally sweeter profile that balances beautifully with the underlying juniper. They are brilliant for those who find classic dry gins a little too severe, and they open up a whole new world of mixing possibilities.
How to Enjoy Them: Because these gins carry so much natural fruit flavour, they are perfect for experimentation. A light or Mediterranean tonic water is usually best, allowing the fruit to take centre stage without being masked by heavy quinine. For the ultimate summer serve, garnish with a handful of the fresh fruit matching the gin's profile—drop a few fresh raspberries or a slice of crisp green apple right into the glass.
