Commercial description...

Blackadder is proud to introduce Aurantia, our pot-distilled gin, handcrafted for us in The Netherlands.

The name Aurantia comes from the Latin Aurantium, found within the citrus family. It is these citrus notes that give the layers of mouthwatering flavour to our gin.

Aurantia is great for a classic G&T, or just poured over ice. This is gin with a bold, yet soft, sweet-and-sour citrus twist. Perfect for cocktails and long drinks.

Aurantia is bottled with the same care and attention we take with all of our spirits. This means no chill filtration and minimal intervention so as to ensure Aurantia is a truly pure and natural gin.

Founded in 2006, Aviation gin takes its name from the Aviation cocktail, which was created in the 1900s. The gin takes a Dutch style rye spirit base combined with with juniper, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla, orange peel and cardamom, and the botanicals are steeped in grain spirit for 48 hours before they are redistilled. A pretty intriguing tipple, with a very handsome Gatsby-esque bottle. A fabulous gin to go its eponymous cocktail, though we wouldn't suggest you wing it. (Geddit?) Crisp notes of juniper on the nose alongside delicate floral sweetness, parma violets, a touch of citrus peel and some green vegetal notes in there too, with a pinch of spice. Wonderfully spicy notes on the palate, more prominent than on the nose, cardamom shining through and a scattering of cinnamon, with floral notes continuing. Spices linger though the finish, along with the return of citrus peel. 700mL 47%ABV

Combining their scientific know-how with a little wilderness, Coromandel Distilling brought together the conventional and the eccentric, the classic and the unexpected. This is the tradition and art of distilling combined with the magic of the land and the sea. 

Coromandel Dry Gin is born from a premium sugarcane alcohol base. The unmatched purity and 'sweet memory' of this base allows the fruity aromas from botanicals such as Pomegranate and Blueberry to perfectly blend with the more spicy as well as the citrus notes. 

One third of the twenty carefully selected botanicals are either grown in their very own distiller?s garden or wild foraged. Then distilled in micro-batches in their custom-made 150L Carl still each batch is carefully bottled into no more than 133 individually numbered bottles.

In collaboration with Callaghan Innovation laboratories this gin?s extraordinary and distinctive flavour has been scientifically analysed and confirmed to be bursting with flavours and aromas achieved through a relentless pursuit of perfection.
