Stephen Davies, Penderyn’s CEO, said:
_‘This is great news as it is the first award for our new range of Flavoured Gins which are proving very successful. We look forward to the results of the Best Gin awards in February.’_
Last September, following on from the multi-award-winning
success of our Brecon Special Reserve Gin and our Brecon Botanicals Gin,
Penderyn launched three new flavoured gins – **Rhubarb &**
**Cranberry**, **Rose Petal** and **Chocolate Orange**. The flavoured 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 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.’_
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.
