Fortunately, from around the mid-18 th Century legislation and a refinement in distillation processes calmed things down and the style of gin referred to as ‘ Old Tom’ gin was developed, which often containing sugar meant it was softer and sweeter. ‘London dry’ style gin came about in the 19th Century with a further change in distillation techniques. A tribute to a tribe who are thought to be some of the very first settlers of Scotland, Theodore Pictish Gin contains 16 botanicals including some delightfully strange examples such as pine, damask rose, pomelo and bourbon vetiver. These ingredients were distilled using an old charentais still, just to add to the intrigue and delight of this expression. Due to the nature of the material the container is made out of and being handmade, there maybe some character and flaws. Earthy and vegetal, with a light whisper of fruity sweetness hiding underneath. Peppery notes develop on the finish. A favourite treat of Anne Boleyn and her ladies in waiting, marmalade has long been a British breakfast tradition.Enough botanicals to make us wish we had five noses. Big notes of citrus, delicate menthol and flowers everywhere! The King of Prussia, Tristam Davey, Cruel Coppinger – Cornwall has no shortage of famous smugglers in our rugged history. They smuggled in rum, they smuggled in gin, but most of all they smuggled in brandy, lots and lots of brandy. This unique addition is served from a copper flask engraved with the scenery, wildlife, folklore and history that surrounds the distillery. Juniper upfront, with hints of perfumed, coriander leaves, calves leather, cassia bark, cut herbs, acacia honey, exotic spices and citrus.
