Dryad Gin
|
Dryad Gin was launched in 2022 by Becky Wright from Bridgwater in Somerset, alongside hosting 'pop-up pub' events to bring people together and rekindle a sense of community in rural towns and villages. Inspired by the Somerset countryside, Dryad Gin is named after 'Dryads' - mythical tree spirits said to live inside trees - and features distilled oak bark alongside botanicals including cardamom, cinnamon, orange peel and almond.

Dryad Gin - The Gin Guide Review
|
Dryad Gin is a complex, cohesive and characterful gin. The aromas are enticing with plentiful juniper, fresh and rich orange peel notes, and soft spice. The character of the aroma is seamlessly continued on the palate and enhanced with a satisfying mouthfeel. The earthy, piney juniper combines beautifully on the finish with the gentle woody character of the oak bark which gives real connection with the brand story but without taking the limelight, and orange and cassia intermingle alongside. With Tonic Water, the juniper and orange are elevated and joined by a zingy berry note of goji berries, while the woody and soft spice notes add depth and warmth for an impressive and charming G&T. - Paul Jackson, 2023

Meet the Maker
|
"Sheila, my Mum, was one heck of an extraordinary lady; we lost her in 2021. Beaming with warmth and a friendly smile, she was the most welcoming of souls. She loved her gin and dedicated many years of her life to hospitality. Dryad gin is her legacy, creating warmth and laughter, and she is represented on the bottle images as a blackbird. You can see the Dryad releasing the blackbird who drops the final magical ingredient into Dryad Gin as it flies across." - Becky Wright, Founder
