Note To Editors
Daffys Gin
Daffy's has recently won IWSC Gold for the world's best London Dry Gin, it's creator Chris will provide samples and insights into how Daffy's and other gins are made. Daffy's is a gin like no other, created from the finest French grain spirit, distilled on an ancient copper pot whisky still with Lebanese mint and the finest botanicals to create a gin that is classic, complex, perfectly balanced and fresh with a world of intrigue.
The Gin Both
The Gin Bothy is nestled in the Angus Glens of Scotland. Handmade in small batches in our award winning Bothy, our Scottish gin is infused with cinnamon, cloves, mixed spice and sugar. Great on the rocks or with ginger ale, or even served warm as a real winter warmer.
Darnley's View
Darnley's View have created two deliciously different, yet perfectly balanced, small batch London Dry gins. Darnley's View Original is refreshingly smooth and crisp with primary botanicals of elderflower and lemon, making the perfect G&T and Darnley's View Spiced is complex with warming botanicals such as cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and goes brilliantly with ginger ale.
Valentia Gin
The gin is distilled by traditional methods in a double cooper still. The botanicals are distilled individually and ared added to the gin at end end to make the final coupage or blend. The Mediterranean bptanicals used are: juniper, angelica, cardomom, thyme, coriander, rosemary and with a final touch of Valencia citrus fruits.
