Agnes Arber Pineapple Gin - 70cl

Product Information

Saying that, Sipsmith Sipspresso has one other obvious application: it’s great in an espresso martini. Or give it a go in a regular dry martini, with just a twist of orange peel rather than the usual lemon. Infused with real-life Jaffa Cakes, as well as fresh orange and cocoa powder, it really does taste like the heavenly teatime staple in liquid form, but with an added dose of juniper. You can even taste the almond and vanilla from the cake that’s been infused.

The table below contains all postcodes on a two day service. Please note all deliveries to Northern Ireland are also on a 3-5 days service. The barrels, which once held fortified red Port wine from Portugal, were refilled with One Gin’s trademark gin, boasting aromas of sage as well as juniper, citrus peel and nutmeg. Our original Premium Gin is made with the same traditional method of gin distilling that was used in Agnes Arber’s day. It is a convergence of nine studiously sourced botanicals and clean, pure alcohol. A solid and heady scent of juniper followed by sweet lemon tones, Arber Premium delivers the expected juniper flavour harmoniously balanced with a soft blend of orange and lemon and a hint of liquorice sweetness to finish. The nine botanicals included in our Arber Premium gin include angelica, cassia, coriander, grapefruit, iris, juniper, lemon, liquorice and orange. A coffee gin? Yep, you read that right. Sipsmith, the quirky London distillers, are always brewing up something new and interesting, and that includes this ‘sipping gin’ made with coffee. If you adore Jaffa Cakes (and frankly, who doesn’t?) you’ll go wild for this dreamy gin that pays homage to the famous biscuit-sized cake.On 24 May 1948, Agnes Arber became the first woman to receive the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society, a world-famous institution dedicated to the study of natural history. Arber was born in 1879 to artist Henry Robertson who passed down to her his technical drawing skills, utilised by Arber throughout her education and career in the study of plant anatomy. As a botanical historian, she focused her scientific research on flowering plants under the wing of her mentor, morphologist Ethel Sargent. By the time of Arber’s death in 1960, she had published an extensive library of books on both botany and philosophy, ending with 1957’s The Manifold and the One, an exploration of the concept of universal unity. There’s no denying that this gin is on the splash-out side of the spectrum, but that’s because Four Pillars is careful about what they put inside. The olive oil and olive leaf come from the Australian state of Victoria, and are combined with rosemary, bay, local macadamia nuts and lemon myrtle (a leafy herb with a citrus flavour). A full strength gin offering a rich, tropical experience all-year-round. Featuring Arber’s classic nine botanicals, adding the sweet flavourings of fresh pineapple and a hint of mango, post distillation. Savoury, Earthy Notes of Juniper, Coriander, Pineapple and Angelica in the palate. Ideal mixer with premium tonic water or Mediterranean tonic water.

The gin smells and tastes exactly like what you’d imagine. It’s even got a touch of sweetness, which brings to mind those home-baked crumbles and cakes you’d have when going round to nan’s. Can’t find a gin in your favourite flavour? Try making one yourself – it’s easier than you think. You can easily add extra character to normal gin by soaking it for a few days or weeks with your favourite ingredients.verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ The tart fruitiness of the rhubarb is balanced by the heat of real ginger, giving the spirit complexity and body. Just the match for a glass full of ice, a slug of tonic and a garnish of fresh-cut lemon. What do you mix with flavoured gin? A few gins, especially those mixed with natural flavourings after distillation can, over long periods of time change colour and flavour in the bottle. This doesn’t mean it’s gone off. Just as wines can develop as they age, so can spirits. In some cases, they can be even more interesting to drink than when first made. How to make flavoured gin Flavoured gins, meanwhile, use lots of other quirky botanicals. And these — not the juniper — tend to be the main focus. Some are flavoured with fresh berries, others with ripe pears or tropical pineapple. Some even taste of coffee or tea. Cuppa, anyone? However, where flavoured gin differs is in its other botanicals, and in how these botanicals are balanced with juniper.

Originally from South Africa, I worked in various hospitality roles and was regularly taking part in and organising brewery tours where the interest in home brewing came from. It all started off as a hobby initially; being around the brewing process, I thought I’d try my hand at home brewing different types of beer. I then progressed into vodkas, liqueurs and then finally into gin where I really found an interest in infusing gins with various botanicals.If in doubt, look at the serving suggestions provide by your gin producer – after all, they know their spirit best. Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment. There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to flavoured gins. Just drink what you like! How long does flavoured gin last once opened? Evaporation, especially in warm summer months, is still possible, so always keep the lid firmly on the bottle. Ideally store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and kitchen cookers, because temperature fluctuations and excessive light can impact the taste of any bottled spirit, even if unopened. What’s more, because there are some classic gin botanicals in there – including angelica, cassia, coriander, liquorice and, of course, juniper – it feels both gin-like and grown-up. There’s no mistaking this for a flavoured vodka, as can happen with some flavoured gins.

Try splashing your citrussy flavoured gins into a Mediterranean-style tonic. These are flavoured with herbs and citrus too, so it’s a no-brainer. We were looking for a name that reflected the importance of the botanicals which were infused within the gin and so actually created a company-wide competition looking for the best name. One of our colleagues had just been reading about Agnes Arber and her dedication to the study of plant anatomy and botanical history. The gins are distilled at Langley’s Distillery in Hertfordshire, in a 500 litre copper pot still, affectionately named Jenny. Jenny is actually one of the oldest working copper pot stills in the UK. Sample spiced gins with ginger ale for a warming, spicy pour, or floral gins with elderflower for something heady and perfumed. Good news – there’s no rush to get to the bottom of that bottle. Like other spirits, flavoured gin doesn’t ever really go off.Offshore Island deliveries will take longer than two days including Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Scottish Highlands and Islands and Scilly Isles.
