James Gin London Drizzle

Since most gins are designated London Dry – and London generally isnt, James came up with the idea of making one that evoked the smell of rain on a hot pavement in Regents Park. That distinctive scent that hangs in the air, just as those first drops of rain hit the ground on a summer day, is called petrichor.

One of the key components of petrichor is also present in beetroot – so weve combined that with lovage, bay, orange, and ginger to create a gin designed to instantly invoke the majesty of our Sceptered Isle.

As Samuel Pepys may have observed: Ye Aprile raine falling pon the hot paving seemed drearisome, but gave off so fweet a fmell that my hearte was greatly uplifted, and I thought unto myfelf that twould one daye make for an bangyng gyn.
