Agnes Arber Pineapple Gin - 70cl

Product Information

This gin is definitely one for a special occasion cheers’ing rather than for downing while watching the footie. But would you expect anything less from a gin that’s been aged in precious Port wine barrels? Flavoured gins, meanwhile, use lots of other quirky botanicals. And these — not the juniper — tend to be the main focus. Some are flavoured with fresh berries, others with ripe pears or tropical pineapple. Some even taste of coffee or tea. Cuppa, anyone? On 24 May 1948, Agnes Arber became the first woman to receive the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society, a world-famous institution dedicated to the study of natural history. Arber was born in 1879 to artist Henry Robertson who passed down to her his technical drawing skills, utilised by Arber throughout her education and career in the study of plant anatomy. As a botanical historian, she focused her scientific research on flowering plants under the wing of her mentor, morphologist Ethel Sargent. By the time of Arber’s death in 1960, she had published an extensive library of books on both botany and philosophy, ending with 1957’s The Manifold and the One, an exploration of the concept of universal unity.

What’s more, because there are some classic gin botanicals in there – including angelica, cassia, coriander, liquorice and, of course, juniper – it feels both gin-like and grown-up. There’s no mistaking this for a flavoured vodka, as can happen with some flavoured gins. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Even if you’re a total gin newbie, you’ve probably heard of Tanqueray. One of the biggest gin brands in the world, it’s been turning out classic-style London Dry Gin to the same recipe since 1830.

Featuring Arber’s classic nine botanicals, adding the sweet flavourings of fresh pineapple and a hint of mango, post distillation. Savoury, Earthy Notes of Juniper, Coriander, Pineapple and Angelica in the palate. Ideal mixer with premium tonic water or Mediterranean tonic water. Our original Premium Gin is made with the same traditional method of gin distilling that was used in Agnes Arber’s day. It is a convergence of nine studiously sourced botanicals and clean, pure alcohol. A solid and heady scent of juniper followed by sweet lemon tones, Arber Premium delivers the expected juniper flavour harmoniously balanced with a soft blend of orange and lemon and a hint of liquorice sweetness to finish. The nine botanicals included in our Arber Premium gin include angelica, cassia, coriander, grapefruit, iris, juniper, lemon, liquorice and orange.

EUROPEAN & INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

Infused with real-life Jaffa Cakes, as well as fresh orange and cocoa powder, it really does taste like the heavenly teatime staple in liquid form, but with an added dose of juniper. You can even taste the almond and vanilla from the cake that’s been infused. If you adore Jaffa Cakes (and frankly, who doesn’t?) you’ll go wild for this dreamy gin that pays homage to the famous biscuit-sized cake. The tart fruitiness of the rhubarb is balanced by the heat of real ginger, giving the spirit complexity and body. Just the match for a glass full of ice, a slug of tonic and a garnish of fresh-cut lemon. What do you mix with flavoured gin? There’s no denying that this gin is on the splash-out side of the spectrum, but that’s because Four Pillars is careful about what they put inside. The olive oil and olive leaf come from the Australian state of Victoria, and are combined with rosemary, bay, local macadamia nuts and lemon myrtle (a leafy herb with a citrus flavour).

Fruity gins, meanwhile, are great served with a lighter tonic. This is because the fruit flavours can make a gin seem sweeter, and a lower-sugar tonic can often balance that. Try splashing your citrussy flavoured gins into a Mediterranean-style tonic. These are flavoured with herbs and citrus too, so it’s a no-brainer.But just because it has serious history, that doesn’t mean it’s a brand that can’t innovate. Enter Tanqueray Rangpur. Can’t find a gin in your favourite flavour? Try making one yourself – it’s easier than you think. You can easily add extra character to normal gin by soaking it for a few days or weeks with your favourite ingredients. Saying that, Sipsmith Sipspresso has one other obvious application: it’s great in an espresso martini. Or give it a go in a regular dry martini, with just a twist of orange peel rather than the usual lemon.
