Yattendon's Berkshire Botanical Dry Gin gets its unique flavor from Norway spruce tips and other botanicals like juniper, coriander, angelica, sweet orange peel, pink grapefruit, lemon peel, cassia and orris. Altogether, the flavor of the gin spirit is described as crisp and delicate, as well as perfect for enjoying over the winter season.
As the Berkshire Botanical Dry Gin is distilled at the Berkshire-based distillery, Berkshire Botanical founder Johnny Neill says: "I’m particularly excited about the use of Norway spruce within our Berkshire Botanical Dry Gin—it’s a real nod to the area’s acclaim to Christmas tree growth and the land that it is distilled upon. If you’re after gin that truly embodies the spirit of Christmas, you can’t do much better than this."
