1000 Trades Distillery

1000 Trades Distillery was launched in 2020 in Birmingham by founder Philip Warren who also runs a small alcohol and soft drinks distributor and was inspired to develop their own brand of products. The distillery now produces gin, vodka, spiced rum and absinthe. The inspiration for the brand is taken from the history of Birmingham, which was known as 'The City of 1000 Trades' due to its huge range of small workshops, and the cities skyline features on the bottle.

  • Botanicals: 8 including juniper, coriander seeds, orange peel, grapefruit peel, star anise, cassia, cubebs.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of juniper with citrus peels and earthy spice undertones. On the palate, juniper-forward with zesty and bittersweet citrus peels, and cassia warmth. A finish of soft, warm spice, pepper cubebs and a hint of anise with lingering citrus.
Serving Suggestion / Garnish: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Orange or Grapefruit.
The Gin Guide Review: 1000 Trades Gin is refreshingly traditional with pleasingly prominent juniper. The citrus peels of orange and grapefruit deliver both bright zesty notes and deeper bittersweet notes, backed gently with soft spice of cassia and anise that are joined by coriander seeds and peppery cubebs in the finish. With Tonic Water, the piney character of the juniper comes to the forefront for a clean, crisp and thoroughly classic G&T that is a very fine of a juniper-forward gin. - Paul Jackson 2022
