This evening we are featuring a gin that is relatively new to market and has been created by two female restaurateurs with an entrepreneurial spirit and of course a love of gin.
Joanne and Sally one and run NORTH Bar & Kitchen In Leicester and serve up delicious British food with a contemporary twist.
Having excellent palates and an already sizeable gin collection within their restaurant this duo harboured a dream to create their own. To achieve their goal they set up a crowdfunding initiative. They were then able to produce their first 1000 bottles of NORTH 42 Rhubarb & Blood Orange gin in May this year.
The name North 42 is well thought out and was inspired from a variety of factors.
The number 42 is key in that not only is their restaurant at 42 Hinckley Road, it opened on 4/2/2015 and the gin is 42% ABV. Makes sense right?!
The flavour combination is intriguing and versatile lending itself to the different seasons and a whole range of delicious cocktails and serves.
Since the launch they have seen North 42 Gin stocked exclusively in all Selfridges stores as well as select bars and restaurants.
On the nose it is Juniper forward with rich citrus undertones and a caramel like scent. To taste there is a big hit of Ginny flavours followed by tart yet sweet rhubarb. Citrus notes coat the palate leaving a dry finish on the palate.
We paired with Fever-Tree Ginger Ale and dehydrated citrus to give a warming spiced serve. A great combination with this gin.
This ambitious pair have big plans for North 42, we are looking forward to seeing what’s next...

It’s been a busy week at TGTMT HQ. We stopped by our very local gin pantry for a bit of downtime and of course a G & T!
There are a huge array of gins to choose from and this time our eyes were drawn towards the Grapefruit & Mandarin Mason’s Yorkshire Gin.
We have seen this release in Aldi and have been intrigued for some time.... we are happy to say it doesn’t disappoint!
Mason’s Yorkshire Gin was created by Karl & Cathy Mason, we love their story as they set out as avid gin fans that had a social media page dedicated to the wonderful world of gin that had a strong following of Ginthusiasts. Their expertise, knowledge and insight led them to be inspired to create spirits that were different from other some of the other spirits that were available and that also had Yorkshire provenance. We first met the Mason’s team in January 2016 and was captivated by the enthusiasm and honesty in which they spoke about their love of gin in general but also their own product. Refreshingly they have kept true to their traditional distillation methods as when they started out.
So how about this release? Whilst retaining juniper forward goodness it is also packed with refreshing and bright citrus notes (as you would expect!). There is a delicate dryness on the palate which leaves you most definitely wanting another sip.
Paired with a light tonic and grapefruit peel this was just the gin after a long day.....Happy Friday indeed!

Just two normal people, sharing a passion for gin, is an affinity we share with business partners Charlotte & John at @pembsginco
Based in Tenby in Pembrokeshire their Rosemary & Citrus contains four different citrus peels, mingled with Welsh-grown rosemary (the dew of the sea). Having discovered this at ‘The Gin To My Tonic Show’ in Cardiff earlier this year, it’s a very smooth and a easy drinking gin, resulting in a well balanced and beautiful G&T that you’ll want to enjoy and savour.
The recipe was hand crafted by Charlotte & John themselves with each bottle filled, labelled and hand waxed. The serve of pink grapefruit and a sprig of rosemary works beautifully, enhancing the existing flavours for the optimum serve. Tonic wise you only need an Indian or Light as there’s plenty to enjoy within the gin itself.
The bottle design is also really cute, and we have to say we’ve never seen this shaped bottle before making it rather eye catching.
Overall it’s a beautiful #welsh gin true to it’s name, bringing together citrus and savoury notes in the most magical way. It’s a keeper! @fevertreemixers

ORIENTAL PINK!
@tarsierspirit have done it again!
Created by Tim Driver and Sherwin Acebuche, Tarsier captures the flavours and character of Southeast Asia.
These guys are the true meaning of the word CRAFT, touching every element of their gin from recipe creation, distillation, design, bottling, despatch, and even representing themselves with us at various best festivals across the UK. It’s fair to say they’ve become good friends and we couldn’t be prouder to see the range expand....
Picking up where their original left off, Tarsier takes you on a journey of adventure and discovery. From the tropical rainforests of Indonesia, to the orchards of the Mekong Delta, and the fruit carts of Malaysia, there’s plenty of inspiration that’s been drawn upon.
Oriental Pink is bursting with the floral notes of red dragon fruit, the sweetness of lychee and the tartness of raspberry. There’s real substance to this creation; and whilst pink gin has started to borderline and even cross into vodka in selected cases, this gin is true to its name! Raspberry is most defiantly prominent but there’s twists and turns on the palate giving this real depth. Juniper is of course present. The Southeast Asian botanicals are really rather delightful and help make this raspberry creation refreshingly unique.
As for the name Tarsier, it’s named after a small tree-dwelling nocturnal primate with very large eyes (as pictured) native to the islands of Southeast Asia.
Tim and Sherwin are awesome people with a clear passion for gin. If you get chance to meet them at any of our events or others then make sure you grab the opportunity! #thegintomytonic

Who doesn’t love an autumnal serve? This time of year is made for enjoying the plethora of rich fruit gins such as this delicious British Mulberry & Elderberry Gin from the Keeprs range created by The British Honey Company.
The British Honey Company was founded in 2013 in the Cotswolds in the stunning village of Yarnton, Oxfordshire. They have installed a number of hives that pollenate British meadows and hedgerows thus producing excellent quality 100% raw honey.
It wasn’t long before their Beekeeper, )with a self confessed love of both Gin and Honey), produced the first Keepr’s Gin and from then on their range has expanded to include vodka and rum as well!
The British Mulberry & Elderberry gin is I ne of the latest fruit gins in the range. To create the blend Elderberries, Mulberries and 100% raw unadulterated honey is infused into their Classic London Dry Gin. The result is a gin that oozes autumnal charm and warming fruit flavours with a delicate sweetness.
This is a thoroughly excellent gin to create cocktails with or add a good measure to a glass of fizz.
We created a long serve with a blackberry and lemon garnish! Autumn vibes all round!

A quintessentially fine English gin courtesy of the superb Chapel Down Winery based in Kent.
Creators of excellent English wine they have also made some night quality spirits.
When the Pinot Noir variant of their gin caught our eye we simply couldn’t resist.
The blend is inviting, intriguing and utterly delicious. A divine combination of botanicals that include rosehip, rose buds, grains of paradise, dried red berries, citrus and the all important juniper.
The blend is combined with distilled Pinot Noir grape skins to create this summer inspired tipple that is drinkable all year round for sure!
In fact this is a triple distilled gin that results in a smooth spirit.
To taste it is an aromatic journey, delicate floral notes, bright citrus and robust juniper fill the mouth, the finish is sweet, dry and lingering.
Chapel Down have mastered creating unique gins with a nod to the Winery. We are looking forward to seeing what is next.....

WELSH WONDER 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
The Gower Gin Company is owned and run by Siân and Andrew Brooks. Siân is a Senior Lecturer in Initial Teacher Education after a career teaching French and Spanish. Whilst Andrew works for a large Management Consultancy and spends weekends foraging and distilling
Their original multi-award winning London Dry and social media darling is made using a combination of eight botanicals - juniper, angelica root, coriander seeds, bronze fennel, green fennel, lemon zest, & pink grapefruit zest.
To describe it’s the perfect combination of savoury and citrus. On the nose it’s an appealing blend of juniper, citrus, herbs, fennel and spice. Theres so much to take in on the nose that you know you are in for something special. To taste it’s bold with juniper, fennel and pink grapefruit taking control. Whilst to finish its clean, full of peppery spice, lemon and grapefruit with a pleasant sprinkle of black pepper.
It really is an outstanding London Dry gin, full of flavour whilst flying the flag for Wales, leaving you intrigued and desperate for more with it a botanical combination.
As a serve we’d recommend keeping this simple with an Indian Tonic and a citrus garnish.
Fast fact - GŴYR original is finished with embossed copper to represent Swansea’s historic copper industry. They strive to be ambassadors for Gower and Wales which is why they use Welsh names for their gins and have fully bilingual bottles.

This evening we are featuring a special creation, the latest in the Cuckoo Gin family, Solace. Having had the pleasure of visiting the distillery we have seen first hand the love and passion that is poured into what they do. A sense of family and supporting the local community is at the very core of their values and ethos so it is no surprise that following the devastating diagnosis of Cervical Cancer that Liz (Marks wife) received once Liz had thankfully recovered and was given the all clear, they looked to turn a negative into a positive by raising awareness and much needed funds for Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust. So how would they do this? By making a gin of course!
We spoke with Mark when he was in the first stages of creating the blend, we were super excited to hear that it would be Mediterranean inspired and simply couldn’t wait to try. The finished blend doesn’t disappoint. Of course it is delightfully Juniper forward, the flavours of the lemon thyme and rosemary (both from the farm) give depth and wonderful aromas. There are two types of olives, Cuquillo and Nocerella which give a delicious earthy finish on the palate. The citrus notes lift the blend giving a lasting finish. Divine!
The meaning of Solace is to find comfort in a time of great distress. A percentage of the proceeds from every bottle purchased goes to Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust. Jo’s is a charity that helps women at every stage of their cervical cancer journey as well as providing education and raising awareness around the importance of attending cervical screening.
Brindle Distillery is one with heart, and doesn’t this latest addition prove that. Bravo guys…..

GIN & RUGBY with @finesmastergin
Rugby best friends Pat Cilliers and Mike Rhodes, along with distiller Sion Edwards, combine to create something that is a mutual love of sport and gin.
Sport is never complete without a “spirited” celebration post game and this gin embodies that.
This a real scrum of botanicals including Juniper, Coriander, Chamonile, Liquorice, Angelica, Cassia, Orris, Grapefruit peel, Lime peel and Orange peel.
It’s a classic gin in many ways with juniper, coriander, orris, cassia, chamomile, liquorice and angelica, alongside a hearty helping of citrus deliciousness. The quirk comes with the unique bottle that comes in a wrap reminiscent of a rugby jersey!
Bright juniper pairs well with the citrus, while liquorice and cassia give the mid-palate a kick of warmth. It’s an easy drinking gin, and whilst not massively innovative (i.e there’s no random fruit added to the mix) it was never intended to be. Imagine this as a juniper led rugby try. However, it’s a gin true to gin, tasty as hell, and dressed in a cute rugby jersey to boot.
It’s certainly ticking our boxes. It will also tick the boxes of those who love a traditional gin, rugby or both. #thegintomytonic
