Our initial plan was to make grappa - known as husk spirit in South Africa - as well as other digestifs. Our first steps into gin started after we did a course in distilling and we realized that gin is actually a fascinating product to make. Using a 5 liter glass still we started experimenting with different recipes, only to discover than coming up with a good one, especially after some disastrous results, was not a trivial problem. In the process of fine-tuning our gin recipes we learned the art of distilling, and now also make grappa from pomace sourced from a local winery, as well Our first gin, in a London Dry style, is an adaptation inspired by an old Dutch recipe from the 1950's we found during our research. Created by five Brighton residents, Brighton Gin is distilled with oranges, limes and milk thistle and truly captures the spirit of this famous city. A Juniper-led Gin, which will be handcrafted in a new artisanal distillery in the centre of Manchester; the first gin to be distilled in this great northern English city. Using modern distilling methods our Old Tom Gin has been crafted based on research on methods and tools available around at the time. At the time Old Tom gin was being made there were no glass bottles so gin was generally transported in a variety of casks or barrels from distillery to pub. As a nod to this our Old Tom has been lightly rested in oak which has imparted a sweeter vanilla note. This, together with the addition of liquorish and cinnamon, has enhanced the subtle sweetness. Additional spices have been added to make this a smooth aromatic tipple.
