The aroma is lucid. Grapefruit oils, a hint of lime, a lavender tinged floral musk, and a hearty and intensely true to fresh ground juniper berries touch of juniper. Lovely and vibrant, it’s a nose that certainly stands in memory. Nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Cotswolds countryside, the Cotswolds Distillery was born from a dream to produce Outstanding Natural Spirits in one of the most beautiful regions in the world. The distillery opened its doors in 2014 and is the first full-scale distillery within the Cotswolds – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From their single malt whiskies to gins and liqueurs, everything they make is about quality and flavour above all else. Discover the newest properties that just joined our exclusive portfolio, waiting to welcome their first visitors. You’ll get a slightly more vegetal take in your Cotswold’s Gin and Tonic also, with notes of celery and eucalyptus adding perceptual coolness on the nose and palate. I recommend it garnishes with a slice of cucumber rather than the usual citrus fruit.
