British cider maker Thatchers has developed its first ever gin, crafted with cider made from its own Katy apples.
Thatchers Orchard Cut gin is distilled by the English Spirit Distillery using a selection of botanicals, as well as fresh apple for ‘characteristic flavour’.
The gin is described by the Somerset-based company as ‘citrusy and refreshing’ with floral and apple notes. Botanicals including juniper, local Somerset lavender, coriander, macadamia nut, buttercup, Seville orange, lemon and lime have been chosen to work alongside the apple flavours, providing a beautifully balanced drink with floral and fruity notes.
Thatchers managing director and fourth-generation cider maker Martin Thatcher said: “By using cider from our own Katy apples, this fantastic gin is very much at home in our family. With people looking for individuality and character in their gin just as they do in their cider, this new offer once again demonstrates the brilliance and versatility of apples.”
Thatchers Orchard Cut is available in 70cl glass bottles with a full wrap label made from thin wood, representing the cut in the tree, and has been designed by CookChick.
