Award Winning Gin
Our Award Winning Gins
Original Gin
Winner of a bronze medal at the 2021 International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC 2021).
Like many gins we built Prestwich Gin around the famous five; Juniper, Coriander, Angelica root, Orris root and Liquorice.
Juniper is present as the predominant botanical and it is this that imparts the classic piney taste of gin. Coriander delivers Citrus notes. Angelica root has an earthy flavour but also enhances the piney/citrus flavours of the Juniper and coriander.
Orris root provides floral and perfumed notes and acts as a fixative for the other aromatic flavours. Liquorice root adds a combination of dryness and sweetness. We wanted our gin to have a fresh zesty, citrus taste so we chose bitter Orange and pink Grapefruit peels. Cassia bark gives a vanilla-like scent with a spicy cinnamon note. Almond gives the gin a smooth mouthfeel.
And finally, we added the floral element, a combination of Lavender, Rose, and a hint of Cardamom.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Our Honey gin recipe is a London Dry Gin infused with pure local honey!
The Honey Gin is naturally sweet making it an ideal sipping gin, it is also a versatile starting point for gin cocktails and can also be enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic. It is floral and zesty on the palate with tones of classic juniper and a smooth, naturally sweet honey finish!
The Gin is naturally cloudy due to the presence of honey and some settling may occur, this is normal, shake the bottle before use.
