Withers G1 Gin - Review & Tasting Notes

Withers G1 Gin
G1 Gin was launched in 2020 as the first gin from Wither's Gin, founded by Sarah Withers. Sarah developed the gin under the guidance of Ed Gibson (former Head Distiller at Burleigh's) and it is distilled at Bond Street Distillery. Inspired by Sarah's late Mum, Chrissy, the gin features heartsease flowers. Heartsease was a particular favourite of Chrissy who spent much of her free time painting wild flowers, and the G1 Gin bottle is decorated with the silhouette of one of her paintings. And in memory of Sarah's father who died from pancreatic cancer in 2018, at least 10% of profits from Withers G1 Gin are donated to cancer charities. |

The Gin Guide Review
G1 Gin is a distinctive and impressive debut from Wither's Gin. It has both boldness and delicate characters, with depth of flavour and a beautiful finish that carries on and on. Heartsease charmingly plays a key role from start to finish, but without being overpowering. A base of soft spice from cardamom, coriander seeds and cassia bark unites the flavours and emerges further with the addition of tonic, while zesty citrus intertwines with the floral notes and adds a bittersweet hint to the finish. The cocktail applications that come to mind are plentiful, and as a G&T, pink grapefruit and/or rosemary are ideal garnish starting points. The gin takes much inspiration from founder Sarah Withers' late parents, and she has certainly done them proud. - Paul Jackson, 2020 |

"I hatched a plan to create a gin on the way home from a business trip to Paris in Autumn 2017. Over the next 7 days I spent every spare second creating a thorough business plan. I had a gin shed built in our garden and then set about creating our first gin. The rest is history!"
