About Peak Ales Distillery
|
|
With Peak Ales already brewing beer in a 19th-century barn on the Chatsworth Estate, the team jumped at the opportunity when the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire enquired as to whether they could also make gin. After development of the recipe between the Peak Ales and Chatsworth Estate teams, Chatsworth Gin was launched in 2019. Alongside the traditional core of botanicals, the additional botanicals used are sourced from the grounds and exotic greenhouses of the Chatsworth Estate, including lemon verbena, lemongrass and lemons. Uniquely the gin also features Cavendish Banana leaves, with the fruits having been grown at Chatsworth since 1830 when Head Gardener Joseph Paxton acquired an imported specimen from Mauritius. |

The Gin Guide Review
Chatsworth Gin is vibrant and contemporary, welcoming you with bright aromas of lemon verbena and lemongrass alongside juniper. Juniper and citrus lead on the palate as dry rosemary emerges and gives balance before a lemony, herbal finish with juniper pepperiness. With Tonic Water, Chatsworth Gin makes for an intensely citrusy, piney and bright G&T, with the dry rosemary character also continuing to cameo and give balance. It's a flavoursome and moreish gin that enjoyably showcases the botanicals of the Chatsworth House exotic greenhouses. - Paul Jackson, 2021 |

Meet the Makers

"The distillery forms part of the Peak Ales Visitor Centre alongside our small experimental brewery. The copper still was made by Arnold Holstein. It’s small but perfectly formed and looks a treat. We are very lucky that we can take advantage of the Chatsworth garden and greenhouse for selected botanicals." - Founder, Robert Evans
