Foraged seasonal flora from the internationally important Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, are a big part of what makes this gin unique.
The famous gardens in London have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003. They span 320 acres, employ 750 staff (a third are scientists) and house a truly extraordinary collection of trees, plants and fungi. For distiller Darren Rook Kew Gardens offer a cornucopia of botanicals, though he does supplement these with other organic botanicals from around the world. The gin is distilled in Battersea in a 140 litre copper pot still known as Christina (all stills are given names!). It is non-chill filtered, hand bottled and hand labelled, featuring a design inspired by the many plant drawings in Kew’s archives.
Lowland malts are produced by the region's traditional triple distillation method, which results in a fresh, lighter style of whisky compared to the smoky or peaty intensity found elsewhere. After 17 years' maturation in oak casks, this rare old malt is amazingly bright and smooth with buttery shortbread notes and a hint of citrus. One of only 700 bottles released.

A limited edition for serious collectors. This cask strength whisky is the craftsmanship of the Glenburgie distillery, sited just outside Forres in the lush Speyside countryside.
Famous for their much-loved Ballantine's Reserve blend, Glenburgie seldom bottle single malts – and when they do, they're usually only available from their visitor centre! This very rare 15-year old example is a masterclass in mellow, nuanced subtlety with hints of pear and mandarin fruit, caramel and malty chocolate.
