Thunderflower Distillery
|
Thunderflower Distillery in Devon was established in 2017 by Dominic and Anicca O'Nions and they launched their flagship gin, Thunderflower Gin, in 2018 which is distilled with a 'one shot' vapour-infusion in their 200L pot still. The 'Thunderflower' name is derived from an old Devonshire legend that says the tiny white 'thunderflowers' that can grow on thatched cottage roofs can ward off both lightning and witchcraft. In 2020, Dominic and Anicca launched their Navy Strength Gin, 'FireShip', inspired by the last invasion of England which took place in 1690 in Teignmouth, close to the distillery, during which 'Fire Ships' were used - wooden ships packed with gunpowder that were set alight and launched towards the enemy fleet. |

The Gin Guide Review
From its name your might suspect that Thunderflower Gin would be dominated by floral flavours from the 'thunderflowers' and elderflower, however it is its herbaceous and peppery spice characters that sets it apart. Aromatic and bold sage and heather combine with piney, peppery juniper, lemon and cardamom spice for a distinctive and enjoyably dry and savoury profile with depth of flavour. A garnish of lemon or lime brings the ideal balance in a G&T, bringing out the lemongrass and adding the fruity, citrus notes to contrast the savoury botanicals. While sweetness and fruitiness are increasingly prominent in the gin market, Thunderflower Gin refreshingly and successfully bucks the trend. - Paul Jackson, 2021 |
