The British Honey Company (BHC) has unveiled its brand-new English Heritage Organic Dry Gin.

Inspired by the verdant gardens of English Heritage houses and landscapes, the new gin is the first organic offering to the collection as well as the first to feature the stunning new label design. Copper pot distilled in small batches using only the finest organic botanicals, it can be perfectly paired for a gin and tonic with a slice of lemon or a sprig of rosemary. The piney juniper and soft floral notes balance beautifully with fresh rosemary and angelica seeds, before a refreshing finish of cardamom and citrus.

BHC Commercial Director, Oliver Williams says: “This exceptional new organic gin is launching just in time for Organic Month and is a true celebration of  English landscapes. This gin is handcrafted by our expert distiller, at our award-winning distillery in Buckinghamshire, we are delighted to continue to support keeping the story of England  alive for future generations”.

Kingston Myles, Head of Commercial Development at English Heritage comments: “Launching this new organic gin as part of our longstanding partnership with the British Honey Company is exciting for everyone involved. This is the perfect pairing of high quality spirits and authentic flavor which adds another contemporary product to our growing portfolio of food & drink.”

Perfect as an aperitif, paired with an alfresco meal or as an evening sip, the new gin is available from the 6^th September on the British Honey Company’s website and English Heritage sites. RRP £39 for a 70cl bottle (ABV 40%).
