A to Z of Gin: L

L is for London Dry: a style of gin, rather than a gin made in London. To be a London Dry, the “one shot” method is used, requiring all the botanicals to be added at the same time and nothing is done to the resulting alcohol after distillation. Only natural ingredients can be used (ie no flavours and essences) and it must contain a predominance of juniper

A to Z of Gin: H

H is for Hopkins Street, which is where you’ll find our distillery at number 7; it’s also for heads and hearts: two of the cuts that a distiller makes during a distillation run. The “heads” is bad stuff, smell like nail polish remover and which you certainly wouldn’t want to drink, the “hearts” is the good stuff, which ends up in your bottle. The talent of distilling is to make the cuts at the exactly the right point.Hope on Hopkins
