About this deal

This process starts by milling and mashing 100% English wheat then fermenting the wash for three days to make a 10% wheat beer. This wheat beer is then distilled once to create a “low wine” which is run through the rectification column, the heads and tails are discarded and what is left are the hearts – 96% silky smooth amazing vodka (which is what many gin distilleries buy in from a bulk supplier)! East London-based soft drinks brand Square Root is shaking up the soda category with the arrival of its lemonade, ginger beer, cola and rhubarb soda in 250ml cans. The infusion process lasts three to four days, during which the botanicals are added in successive steps while the degree of alcohol diminishes. “We lower the ABV with pure water, the same water that we use to bring down the ABV for Cognac, in which all the mineral elements have been eliminated through the reverse osmosis process. At the end, once the 19 botanicals have been infused, the ABV is about 30-35%. We set 20% of the infused spirit aside before sending it to the distillery and we infuse three extra botanicals, yuzu, cornflower and genepi from the Alps,” Gabriel says. “We then take the infused spirit to the distillery and we distil. Since the spirit has already been distilled at least three times, we only have to do one distillation. We do not keep the heads, we keep the heart and a large part of the seconds as well”. The Brands of Doghouse; Renegade Gin and Baller Vodka are true artisanal spirits that showcase very distinctive characters in texture and taste. Aptly named for the attitude and spunk that is evident in their profiles, both are best case scenarios of how a complete disregard for convention leads on to deliver incomparable brilliance.

Of course, not being a Londoner himself, Saunders had absolutely no idea about the association between Battersea and dogs, so Doghouse Distillery was little more than a coincidence. “I love booze, I have drunk a lot of it, served a lot of it over a bar,” he explains. “That passion for booze comes hand in hand with spending a fair amount of time in the doghouse…”

Also within the range is their Baller Vodka which recently won “Best Spirit” in Great Britain in the 2019 Great British Food Awards. This tipple is London’s only vodka made fully from scratch using 100% English wheat. Full of attitude, this baller is totally unfiltered and loaded with character. Creating a unique and sessionable style that appeals to both Gin connoisseurs and people new to Gin. It’s something that is inclusive, like booze should be! And of course being one of a very small group of distilleries in the UK making Gin from scratch. What was the most memorable high point over the past few months? We’re seeing a rise in demand from many of our customers looking for premium drinks to-go, and our new cans are the perfect solution for them. They’re light, widely recycled and can be sold in many venues where glass bottles aren’t allowed. A distillery that is revolutionary in epic proportions; Doghouse, is the only operation in London (and one of only a handful in the whole of UK), to pioneer the ‘grain-to-bottle’ approach in crafting their liquors. Where most distilleries buy in a 96% neutral grain alcohol to provide the base for the spirits they make, Doghouse holds the rare distinction of having their own in-house base spirit; completely made from scratch. Through this added effort, they have been able to achieve complete control of uniqueness and quality. Made with 14 botanicals including a good amount of juniper and lots of leafy green herbs, Renegade has an incredible aroma, herbaceous and piney on the palate and has a smooth and lingering finish. The Doghouse team are not fans of following the traditional route in distilling (or life), and Renegade Gin is contemporary on all levels. 'Renegade (n) - a person who behaves in a rebelliously unconventional manner'.

Jawbox Gin is set to unveil the world’s largest bottle of gin – equivalent to almost 46 standard bottles of gin – as the hospitality industry reopens for business. A handful of the botanicals (no doubt the hardier, more standard ones) are left to macerate overnight in the base vodka, then in the morning the rest of the ingredients are added in and the still is switched on. The distillation run is a long, slow eight hours, producing somewhere between 2,500 and 3,500 bottles (once cut down to bottling strength of 42%) at a time. Renegade Gin to taste… This badass gin is insanely sessionable, deliciously herbaceous and piney, with a smooth, lingering finish.We cast our MoM-branded spotlight on Citadelle Gin , an expression created at a Cognac house, that predates the craft gin boom. Its founder Alexandre Gabriel explains why he created a gin in the first place, the 18th-century recipe he based it on and his patented brand of gin distillation. So how to use Citadelle Gin? Gabriel has a few thoughts: “I love a G&T and with Citadelle it’s incredible, but my little sin is actually a Gin Reserve with just a glassful of dry Curaçao,” he says. “Not the blue stuff, we make an original curacao made with real orange. I also love a gin martini with a great vermouth like Dolin and of course I love a French 75”. My advice would be to explore and experiment. It’s what Alexandre Gabriel would do. Probably the beach holiday we had after the insanely busy Christmas period It’s not all fun and games, is it? It’s a mental time for Gin and super competitive in the UK. In your opinion, what makes Renegade Gin stand out in today’s crowded market? That grainy base is there, albeit in a very clean, almost tropical form. There’s a huge, green leafiness to the gin overall, with hints of sage and something ever so slightly mentholic tugging at the nostrils.
