**** PRESS RELEASE FROM SHED 1 GIN ****Shed 1 Distillery in Ulverston, Cumbria, have launched a very special collaboration between Zoe of award-winning Shed One, and Irini Tzortzoglou, Masterchef Champion.
The gin is made with botanicals inspired by Irini’s birthplace - Heraklion, Crete - and is dedicated to all Grandmothers for their strength and support. Yiayia (Greek for Grandmother) has been inspired, created, distilled and bottled by women. Zoe, Lindsay & Thea from Shed One, together with Irini. “Yiayia Irini was hospitable and a feeder. Yiayia Stavroula was tender, warm and generous. Grandmothers are valued and revered figures, passing on life lessons, treats and wonderful memories. Yiayia is truly loved by all.” Irini Tzortzoglou It all began with a visit to Shed One from Irini Tzortzoglou and her husband John, along with other friends, to make their own gin. A giggly, informative, fun afternoon including gin and cakes. While their creations were being distilled, Zoe took Irini and John into the distillery to show them Shed One’s latest gin, Ulvertson Gin. Once Irini saw the leaves and petals of the different local plants being used, her imagination was fired up and thoughts of home came to mind. “Would you be able to use vine leaves?” “Can you use figs?” “What about olives?” The simple answer was “Yes”. And so it began. Botanicals: a blend of juniper, fig leaves, olive leaves, rose pelargonium, vine leaves, oregano, lemon leaves and more.
