|
The Edge Distillery in Cheshire was established in 2018 by former cruise ship entertainers Clare and Mike Ryan. The husband and wife team launched their London Dry Gin the same year and use 2 column head stills, named Merlin and Arthur, that can each produce 80 bottles per run. The gin's name and branding are inspired by the local Cheshire legend of the Wizard of Alderley Edge. |

Review: The Edge Gin combines classic and contemporary flavours in a charming gin with a smooth and soft mouthfeel and well executed flavour transitions. On the palate, The Edge Gin takes you from juniper and citrus upfront to goji berry sweetness which is then balanced by spice from cassia, nutmeg and star anise as they carry you into the finish alongside citrus notes and coriander seeds. It makes for a light, contemporary and moreish G&T with juniper, citrus, goji berry sweetness and soft dry spice continuing to take the limelight when mixed, and citrus fruits make for ideal G&T starting points. - Paul Jackson, 2020

"We are from Alderley Edge and we fell in love with the local legend of The Wizard of Alderley Edge. He was thought to have been Merlin and his image is carved on a rock face above a well in the National Trust forest called The Edge. Under the carving is an inscription that reads "Drink of this and take thy fill, for the water falls by the wizard's will". We have the wizard's face on the front of our bottle and we've added the inscription although we swapped the water for Gin... we're sure the Wizard would have enjoyed a G&T!" - Founders, Clare & Mike Ryan
