Adventurers Drinks Co

Adventurers Drinks Co was establishing in 2022 ahead of the launch of their debut spirits, Peak Baggers Gin and Rowers Gin. Founded by Phil Kite, a former heavy engineering manager turned rower and adventurer, the brand and its products are inspired by the spirit of exploration and modern day adventurers, with Peak Baggers Gin featuring botanicals from Britain's mountains and Rowers Gin featuring botanicals from Britain's rivers and coasts. As well as having won several rowing accolades and leading a team to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, Phil is aiming to be one of the first people row the Arctic's Northwest Passage.

Serving Suggestion / Garnish: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Orange Peel or Lemon Peel, or in a Negroni or Martini.
The Gin Guide Review: Peak Baggers Gin is a fragrant and layered gin with a clear and enjoyable connection to its British mountain inspiration. Juniper, citrus and underlying warm spice are accompanied by floral rose, grassy heather and milk thistle, and gently fruity and bittersweet aronia berries and rowan berries. With Tonic Water, the juniper and the orange and lemon citrus are elevated to deliver a pleasing balance of flavour, with support from the florals, for an appealing and moreish G&T. - Paul Jackson, 2023

Rowers Gin

  • ABV: 41% (Base Spirit: Grain)
  • Botanicals: 8 including juniper, lemon peel, orange peel, meadowsweet, rock samphire, sugar kelp.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of sweet floral meadowsweet and sea air. On the palate, juniper, citrus and rock samphire, with a lingering finish with gentle salinity from sugar kelp.
Serving Suggestion / Garnish: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Lemon or Orange Peel, or in a Gin Margarita or Juliet & Romeo cocktail.
The Gin Guide Review: Rowers Gin delivers coastal meadow character with gently floral meadowsweet and citrus combining with savoury rock samphire before the subtle salinity of sugar kelp leads into the finish alongside lingering lemon peel notes. With Tonic Water, the lemon, orange and savoury saline notes balance harmoniously in a G&T that would make an ideal accompaniment to seafood dishes. - Paul Jackson, 2023

Meet the Makers

"The launch of the Adventurers Drinks Co was inspired by my passion for adventure and exploration. It was whilst tackling a shortfall in funding for an expedition that I recognised the historical connection between adventuring and drinks companies. The expedition team had set about marketing a themed gin as a way of raising funds. I saw at first-hand how well customers responded to the gin's back story and the excitement surrounding the expedition." - Founder, Phil Kite
