Provenance
RED CLOVER
Red clover is an excellent soil conditioner, with an extensive root system that permeates the topsoil fixing nitrogen back into the soil. It enhances the environment and is a key food source for the Great Bustards and our star botanical in Great Bustard Gin.
working together
We love a good challenge, as history shows! For those wanting to create your own spirits brand, for a bar, pub,restaurant, hotel, shop, or any other reason, then we can help bring those ideas to life.
One of the greatest pieces of advice I was given was ‘Why should the customer care, when there are so many great brands out there?' It is about the ability to connect people to a moment of time when they have that first sip.
We will sit down with you, to draw out the concept, desire and how you see customers identifying with your product.
The fun starts as we develop the concept, mapping the botanicals against your brief.
There are no right or wrong answers, watch the video below as we talk about Asian Parsnip.
Star botanicals might be identified and how local provenance can influence the direction of travel. Once the recipe is defined and agreed, it then upscaling this and designing your bottle.
JAMES MAY GIN
Over the downs lies the small village of Swallowcliffe, whose history dates to 940 AD. In 1852 The Royal Oak opened its doors, before being partly sold to James May in 2021. Wanting to understand how spirits could be made for the pub, James gave us a challenge to create a gin using Parsnips, the rest is history.
The Original Asian Parsnip JM01 was distilled and made at the distillery, as are the distiller cuts.
Below are critics reviews of the work we have done to date with James and his team.
