**Penderyn**
**Extends its Award-Winning Gin Range**
Following on from the multi-award-winning success of our Brecon Special Reserve Gin and our Brecon Botanicals Gin, Penderyn are delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of three new flavoured gins – **Rhubarb & Cranberry**, and **Rose Petal** and **Chocolate Orange**. They can be ordered for £28 inc P&P [here.
The new gins are based on our Brecon Special Reserve gin (which won Gold at the 2017 Spirits Business Global Gin Masters) and are bottled at 37.5% abv.
Laura Davies, our
Distiller, who created the gins said –
_‘The award-winning_
_Brecon Gin series has been expanded using Brecon Special Reserve as a base for_
_three new exciting flavoured expressions. These flavoured and coloured gins_
_have been created with balance and creativity and will hopefully create more_
_interest for our regular Brecon Gin customers, and bring new drinkers to the_
_brand and the category.’_
The bottles were designed by acclaimed drinks designer Glenn
Tutssel who is also one of our directors, and the gins have been created by our
all-women distilling team. Glenn said –
_‘_ _I_
_have always loved botanical illustration and was very fortunate to have_
_designed a set of stamps featuring 10 botanical illustrations for the Royal_
_Mail, which I researched at Kew gardens and the Victoria & Albert Museum. There_
_I discovered the artworks and notebooks of La Redoute and Ehret which inspired_
_the new gin labels. I liked the freshness and detail of the illustration, but_
_was also fascinated by the written notes. When I designed the labels (the_
_flower images were created by illustrator Andrew Davidson) it seemed_
_appropriate to include the information on the front in handwritten form rather_
_than ‘hide’ it on the back. This also makes it more attractive to_
_consumers.’_
Tasting Notes
**Rhubarb & Cranberry**
A burst of tangy rhubarb blends with bittersweet cranberry
to give a fresh and fruity gin. Aromas of juicy grapefruit and fresh
strawberries swirl on the nose, while juniper mingles with coriander and sweet
orris root in the mouth, leaving a dry lingering finish.
Best served with ice and chilled tonic water. Garnish with
frozen strawberries and cucumber.
**Rose Petal**
Rose petal and strawberries married with tart fresh
raspberries and juniper. Hints of liquorice and angelica root swirl, whilst
spicy cinnamon and coriander aromas blend with refreshing notes of sunny citrus
fruits.
Best served with ice and chilled tonic water. Garnish with a
slice of pink grapefruit and fresh mint leaves.
**Chocolate Orange**
Rich velvety chocolate swirls around this gin. Powdery cocoa
and silky vanilla succumb to zesty, sweet orange bursts and an unmistakeably
full-bodied juniper, Dry cassia bark balanced with smooth fresh cream lingers
in the mouth.
Best served with ice and chilled tonic water. Garnish with
cinnamon and a twist of orange.
