Blueberries, cherry blossom and honey from the farm are used in every distillation.
The Gin Guide Review
Penrhos Gin delivers a wealth of uplifting floral aromas and flavours that instantly bring to mind the blossoming trees of spring. Layered on a light and classic core of traditional botanicals are floral rose, hibiscus and cherry blossom, while cinnamon, cardamom and chamomile give soft and complementary depth. A subtle touch of honey balances and mingles with pink pepper to add further character, moving into the light and floral finish with a hint of earthy liquorice. It's a fragrant and flavoursome gin that carries its flavour very well in a Gin & Tonic, with pink grapefruit or mint making for ideal garnish starting points. ​- Paul Jackson, 2020
