Geranium Gin has a gentle mix of juniper and floral notes both on the nose and palate. The gin feels smooth and light, but all the flavours are there. It’s not overtly floral or too complicated to discern what’s in the glass. The spices anchor the top notes and at 44% ABV the spirit is both botanically balanced and carries well in a G&T, without any unwanted alcoholic heat. Firm but fair so to speak…

An Hors d'Age Armagnac from Comte de Lauvia, made using Ugni Blanc, Baco Blanc and Folle Blanche grapes. As with their other expressions, Comte de Lauvia have 'double matured' this Armagnac in local black oak casks, initially in new wood for several months, before being moved to second or third fill casks for a further period of around 2 years. After this, they're moved to older casks, with this expression made up of vintages dating back to the early 1970s and spanning almost 30 years!

Copper pot-distilled gin is first made with juniper, coriander and other fragrant botanicals.  We take a portion of this gin and painstakingly infuse it with a further six botanicals, capturing the vibrant flavours of orange peel, cassia, juniper, coriander, cardamom and clove.

This infusion is meticulously blended back into the gin, giving Bathtub its unique character, allowing those fresh botanical flavours – too delicate to survive traditional distillation – to shine through, and leaving our gin with its distinctive botanical hue. It’s only finished once wrapped, strung and waxed by hand, ready to deliver unparalleled fresh flavour to your G&Ts and cocktails.
