Five Mile Gin
Soft green rolling hills running to a hazy horizon in early morning light

Picked within
five miles of the still.

Sloe, elderflower, gorse, juniper and wild rose, foraged for every bottle.

Five plants, five miles.

The whole recipe, each plant foraged from the land around the still.

  1. Sloe

    Prunus spinosa

    The blue-black fruit of the blackthorn.

  2. Elderflower

    Sambucus nigra

    Flat heads of cream flowers on the elder.

  3. Gorse

    Ulex europaeus

    Coconut-scented flowers on a spiny shrub.

  4. Juniper

    Juniperus communis

    The berry every gin is built on.

  5. Wild rose

    Rosa canina

    The pale pink rose of the hedges.

Two of the five, close up.

Fruit from the blackthorn, flowers from the gorse.
