Smeaton's is a faithful record of an ancient handwritten recipe which discovered in Bristol Archives in 1870s.
Crafted according to the original Bristol Method, fresh botanicals from around the world distilled in traditional copper pot stills individually, in different particular seasons.
This single-minded approach tend to exactly captures the pure essence of each botanical.
“Resurrects an original Victorian recipe and is produced using techniques deemed too costly, labour intensive and time consuming by the majority of distillers. There’s no gimmicky ingredients, no big marketing budget and no celebrity endorsement, just one of the finest premium gins we’ve tasted in a very long time.
Rich, spicy and perfectly balanced. Juniper, pine, tree sap and orange oil, followed by an oil mouth-coating, a Sichuan peppercorn, marmalade and liquorice allsorts.
Beautifully packaged in Bristol blue glass, it comes wrapped in a stunning almost William Morris-esque botanical illustration wrapper, inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement the great man was so influential in kick starting.”
