The Source Gin
The Source Gin is forged by the four seasons that blow through the Cardrona Valley, located in the pristine Southern Alps in New Zealand.
Full of flavour and character, The Source Gin is made from a natural matrix of locally foraged rosehip, together with traditional juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, lemon and orange zest – all vapour-distilled into Cardrona Distillery’s Single Malt Spirit.
Small batch and lovingly hand-crafted at the family-owned Cardrona Distillery, this super-premium gin goes through a two-step process, both copper pot and column distillation. Importantly it is non-chill-filtered, which means that the spirit clouds are noticeable with dilution or when cold – a mark of distinction for this very rare and very special drop.
The Source was awarded a Gold at the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition and has been featured as one of the World’s Top 50 Gins.
RRP £56 for 700ml (47% abv). Available from Waitrose stores across the UK, www.waitrosecellar.com and directly from www.cardronadistillery.co.uk.
