About Thunderflower Gin
Thunderflower gin was launched in 2018 and is distilled in-house at Thunderflower Distillery in Devon, which was established in 2017. The distillation process is a traditional 'one shot' vapour-infusion in their 200L pot still and the addition of only natural spring water to bring the gin to 42% ABV, before filtration bottling. The name is derived from an old Devon legend that says the tiny white 'thunderflowers' that can grow on thatched cottage roofs can ward off both lightning and witchcraft. |

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 character that sets it apart. Aromatic and bold sage and heather combines with piney, peppery juniper and spices 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 lemon grass 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, 2018 |
