Lemon Balm Gin

Introduction

About our Lemon Balm gin

Fresher than fresh. Once we’ve picked the lemon balm on our farm, we’ve got just one hour – ONE HOUR – to get it to the distillery. Who thought this was a good idea?

Seriously good with Mediterranean tonic and a sprig of lemon balm.
Freshly picked, of course.

What's the story?

Ever heard of the saying ‘What do you do when life gives you lemons?’ pfft.

It should have been ‘What do you do when life gives you Lemon balm, Lemon verbena, Lemon thyme & a whole load of bee pollen?’
Of course the answer is… make gin!

Green in more ways than one, this belter is one of our most self sufficient liquids.

There’s no corner cutting here, just proper commitment to the planet and making the best bloomin’ gin possible.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh herbaceous lemon balm and juniper explode on the nose.

Lemon verbena brings zingy lemon sherbet to the palate. Lemon thyme offers a gentle tingling on the tongue with honeyed figs.

Finish

The finish is smooth and lasting with pink pepper, citrus and soft lavender.
