Warner Edwards Elderflower Gin - 40%, £3.50
Inspired by Tom’s mother Adèle, this is a very special gin which only uses fresh, handpicked elderflower, and can therefore only be produced once a year. During peak elderflower season (late May to early June) we handpick elderflower from our farms in England and Wales. The petals are separated and added to batches of our Harrington Dry Gin. This is a fabulous and subtle infusion which is good enough to drink neat, but also makes a wonderfully floral and delicate G&T. Perfect for a summer evening, sipped with friends and family.
IWSC Silver 2015 Best served with Apple Juice and Elderflower Syrup.

Warner Edwards Rhubarb Gin - 40%, £3.50
Our most regal gin with real provenance, made using a crop of rhubarb that was originally grown in the kitchen gardens of Buckingham Palace during the reign of Queen Victoria, and has since had quite a journey. Half of the crop was sent to the Vice Regal Lodge in Dublin, which later became the President’s House. It has now made its way back to Crown Estate land in Lincolnshire, and is being organically grown by Fraser M Key. The remaining half left in the grounds of Buckingham Palace was destroyed during The War, which makes our rhubarb very special indeed.
IWSC Silver 2015 Best served with Ginger Ale and Fresh Lime.
