Blowing Stone Nettle Blackberry 5cl 42%

The fourth release in the Ashdown Series is our Nettle and Blackberry Gin. Batch-distilled using our three-part process, we use a blend of beautifully balanced botanicals which could be found locally during the middle ages.

 Using our delicious London Dry recipe as a base, our recipe includes hand-picked tender young nettles, used by Anglo Saxons and Vikings as an ingredient in food dishes as well as in fabric-making. Blackberries or ‘Brymbyl’ in old English were abundant, growing wild, with brambles often used as a form of defence against invaders.
