Poetic License Honey & Heather Gin | 700ML

Another release from Poetic License's Rarities range, which showcases a host of wonderful flavour profiles. This time, the team used honey from The Travelling Bee Company, along with heather, to create a delicious, floral, subtly sweet expression. This will be just the ticket for any spring or summer themed cocktails, we'd say.

Poetic License Honey & Heather Gin | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: It presents itself with great elegance and charm on the nose.

Palate: The palate is an explosion of delicate flavors, nice and delightful mouthfeel.

Finish: Quite delicate and smooth texture on the long finish.

Distillery Information

Based in the Poetic License Distillery Bar and Soul Food (formerly The Roker Hotel), Mark Hird created the brand Poetic License after realising his potential to succeed in an industry where his expertise as a trained chef as well as food & bar manager, and the access his 12 thriving hotels gave him, would count for something. He began with a microbrewery, which opened in 2012, and named it Sonnet 43, after the Elizabeth Barrett Browning poem. She was born just a stone’s throw from the brewery site. In late 2013, Luke Smith began working with Sonnet 43, and it wasn’t long before Hird moved on to his project, with Smith in mind. Establishing a microdistillery of his own was Hird’s next ambition, and he hired Smith to become a full time gin distiller. By January 4th 2015, the project became official and Luke moved to begin working within Hird’s Roker Hotel. Using a 5 litre still to produce trial recipes, the duo distilled for a total of 7 months to create a London Dry Gin that they were happy with - which contains the exact same botanical bill they still use today. With the recipe decided, Poetic License then set about perfecting its method, which began by crushing the botanicals in a home-brew malt mill. These are then steeped for 24 hours before distillation, which gives them time to macerate with the spirit. This one shot process allows them to produce two different gins at around 400 bottles in a batch.
