**** PRESS RELEASE FROM PUDDINGSTONE DISTILLERY ****Puddingstone Distillery x The Box Moor Trust The Gin Originally launched as '1594' in celebration of the founding date of the Box Moor Trust, the now rebranded Box Moor Gin is a special edition gin distilled using rare juniper grown on The Box Moor Trust estate in Hertfordshire, just 13 miles from Tring based Puddingstone distillery. For every bottle sold the distillery donate £2.00 back to the Box Moor Trust. As with grape varieties, the terroir of a region has huge impact on the juniper, in this instance offering a profile that exhibits subtle pine but with enhanced juicy plum and herbaceous notes. What makes this gin additionally unique is that that for every short 400 bottle run, all the local juniper is harvested from a single plant. Process Whilst the gin is distilled in accordance with London Dry regulations, head distiller Ben Marston has developed a still configuration tailored to ensure the best extraction of flavour and aroma from the local juniper, British coriander seed, British angelica root, orris root powder and fresh limes. The addition of limes is a nod to Boxmoor Wharf – once the home of Rose’s Lime Juice. Profile Clean, robust and with a soft oily mouthfeel. Sweet lime, bold, fruity juniper and warm deep floral notes make this a great martini gin or G&T with plain tonic. This elegant gin has won the attention of leading gin commentators resulting in it being showcased at the 2024 Ginposium and listed amongst the top ten gins of 2023 by a leading spirits judge and writer. The Bottle Belted Galloway cows are a familiar sight on The Box Moor Trust estate. Casually referred to as stripey cows or Oreo cows, this distinct variety has provided inspiration for this release of Box Moor Gin. The bottles feature either a burnt orange or dark brown label. Also reference on the label is the gravestone of highwayman James ‘Robert’ Snooks who in 1801 robbed a postboy travelling from Tring to Hemel Hempstead and was the last person in the UK to be executed for the crime! This stone is one of the many historic features of the Box Moor Trust estate Enjoy in delicious cocktails To celebrate the launch of Box Moor Gin, Kate & Ben, founders of Puddingstone Distillery, recommend serving it in these fantastic cocktails – Orange Sour, Oreo Cookies & Cream, and a Gimlet.
