Brentingby Gin - London Dry Gin - 70cl

Product Information

Hand-wrapped in paper, sealed with twine and wax, Ableforth’s Bathtub Gin is one of the more unique bottles on the market. Reminiscent of an old apothecary medicine bottle, its design takes inspiration from the prohibition era, said to have given rise to the term from which Bathtub Gin takes its name. Launched in March 2018, The Nodding Donkey Distillery Company, have created a stunning bottle with their Jarrold’s Gin. Not bespoke in shape, but the label with its stained-glass window-like effect is striking. We’re four ambitious food and drink businesses who aim to make world class products with firm roots in the centuries-old artisanal food culture of our home Melton Mowbray. This heritage was the reason Port of Leith Distillery chose a wine-shaped bottle for their gin. As a nod to history, ‘Leith Glass Works’ is also embossed on the base of every bottle.

Paul said: "We're part of a new generation of local food and drink producers, and we're all making quality products and promoting the Melton Mowbray name." Launched in 2020, the gin uses 18 botanicals, the majority of which are sourced from China. Inspired by perfume bottles from the time of the Ming dynasty, this incredible bottle was designed by artist, Lala Curio, in partnership with Hong Kong ceramic brand Loveramics.The inviting gradients of the dark blue represent the fierce Skagerrak sea, with different hues depending on the light. Three small dots surround the contemporary typography of the logo, symbolising three Nordic lighthouses which surround the straight, while the cork stopper has the North Star leading the way. We need more producers like Round Corner Brewery. They've become a destination, and have brought in a different kind of customer," said Hugh. eeNoo is distilled by Lost Loch Spirits and it takes its name from the old Scots word for “just now”. The bottle found its inspiration in an old book entitled “A Narrative of Some Passages in the History of Eenoolooapik”, by Alexander M’Donald. In 1839, “Eenoo” landed in Aberdeen from Canada, aboard a whaling boat. During his time there he taught locals many skills including how to Qajaq. In today's age, where consumers are increasingly eco-conscious, Brentingby Gin rises to the occasion. The distillery is powered by a wind turbine, ensuring that the carbon footprint is minimal. Moreover, the brand is committed to sustainable sourcing of its botanicals, ensuring not just a high-quality gin but one that consumers can enjoy with a clear conscience. Palma Gin takes its striking pattern from traditional Mallorcan tiles called Suelo Hidraulico, with a local family of tile makers being the inspiration behind the design.

It’s modern and cool, and the green/aquamarine colours of the bottle mirror the forest and the sea, from which they get their signature botanicals. Round Corner Brewing, Brentingby Gin, The Feast and The Furious, and Melton Charcuterie are each committed to using their expertise to create world class produce. Despite the traditional approach to their flavour, there’s more than a touch of the contemporary to the bottle design of Brentingby Gin. Its copper bottle is a nod to Ayanda, the still personally designed and built by founder/distiller Bruce Midgely. Attention to detail is important to Bruce and as such, he designed his own 10 plate copper column still called Ayanda – if you ever visit the distillery, you’re likely to meet her! Made with real gold in the ink to get the look they really wanted, everything about it looks premium and in line with their price point and positioning in the market.Standing in a bottle shop, I was instantly drawn to Silent Pool. I’d never tasted it but such was the beauty of the bottle, I was desperate to try it. The brand takes its name from the legendary haunted Silent Pool in Albury, England, where their distillery sits. Nestled in the heart of England, near the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, Brentingby Gin derives not just its name but its spirit from its locale. The brand proudly wears its British heritage on its sleeve, ensuring that every aspect, from distillation to bottling, embodies the authenticity and quality that the region is renowned for.

Always a favourite of mine, the Fishers Gin bottle underwent a slight makeover in 2019. The brand elected to increase its size to 70cl, while the branding remained true to the original design by Parisian, Gilbert Lopez. The logo etched on the centre is the hibiscus flower which is prominent in Bruce’s childhood home of Durban, South Africa. It’s also one of the botanicals used in Brentingby Gin. It’s a huge favourite with gin fanatics since its launch in 2018, both for this beauty, as well as its somewhat flavoursome gin. It is contained in a beautiful copper coloured bottle, reminiscent of Ayanda’s glow, and according to Bruce, the gin delivers the spirit of perfection through a combination of eight botanicals and careful distillation through the copper still to produce a smooth, rounded spirit.

In August 2018, to mark the 5th anniversary, the bottle went to a whole new level. On the southwestern tip of England lies Cornwall, a region that’s fast becoming famed for its gins. Land of Saints takes its name from the fact that Cornwall is home to 69 saints.At the core of Brentingby Gin's allure is its commitment to traditional craft. The gin is distilled in a copper pot still, lovingly named 'Ayanda', which ensures a meticulous extraction of flavours from the botanicals. This method, time-consuming and demanding precision, results in a gin that is both smooth and complex. Lind & Lime Gin was launched in 2018 and its bottle has caused quite the stir. The gin’s story is centred around the port of Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital. The city has a long history with gin, as a key trading port with Europe. Upon arriving in the harbour, wines and spirits would be taken from their barrels and bottled. Thus, glass became produced in large quantities in the port. The logo for the gin, the hibiscus flower, represents the link between the birthplace of both Bruce (KwaZulu-Natal) and his gin (Melton).

Bruce told LeicestershireLive: "There's a lot of established businesses in the town, which are great. We're youthful businesses who do our own thing, but are coming together to bring added value and an upbeat tempo to Melton Mowbray." The Feast and The Furious River Test Distillery takes its name from the waters on which their gin is made. Famous for its fly fishing and clear waters, these two facets are incorporated into the design of their bespoke bottle. Beardsley’s in Rearsby is the very definition of “quaint”.
