COTSWOLDS - Wildflower Gin No. 3 - 41.7%
The Cotswold Distillery, a key reference in artisanal gin, is ideally located in the heart of the preserved countryside of the Cotswolds, an iconic region in southern England spanning six counties renowned for their natural richness. Founded in 2014 by the visionary Daniel Szor, this prestigious distillery combines tradition and innovation to produce exceptional Dry Gins as well as refined Single Malts. The launch of the distillery benefited from the expert knowledge of Harry Cockburn, a recognized master distiller and former production director at Bowmore, as well as Dr. Jim Swan, a renowned expert in barrel maturation who has collaborated with prestigious distilleries such as Penderyn, Kavalan, and The Milk & Honey Distillery. Clos des Spiritueux is firmly committed to using only locally sourced barley, carefully selected from the historic malting houses of Warminster, the oldest still operating in the UK. To ensure optimal quality, the distillery uses a custom-made copper still by Forsyths in Rothes, with a capacity of 2,500 liters, which initiates the meticulous double distillation process. After the rigorous selection of the best fractions called Low Wines, these are redistilled in a second 1,600-liter still to create spirits of rare purity and complexity, notably giving rise to exceptional whiskies.
The Wildflower Gin collection draws its inspiration directly from the wild floral richness of the preserved meadows of the Cotswolds. The No. 3 is an exceptional London Dry gin, carefully crafted from classic aromatic botanicals such as juniper, coriander, and angelica, enhanced by subtle and natural extracts of génépi, fresh mint, yarrow, and other wild plants rigorously handpicked. This unique gin perfectly embodies the authenticity and botanical diversity of the region, offering a refined and authentic tasting experience that will delight both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
