SURREY distiller Silent Pool is going for class and distinction with its two latest gin launches.
The company’s super-premium Black Juniper Gin was created using black juniper sourced from Bhutan – above 4000 metres in the Himalayas – which is smoked before being combined with botanicals including Coriander, Voatsiperifery and Tasmanian Mountain Pepper.
The 43% ABV gin is being sold in one-litre bottles, priced at £295 each.
“Genuinely innovative projects are integral to us here at Silent Pool Distillers,” said marketing director Rhian Billington. “Working closely with Michael Rutland OBE, the United Kingdom’s honorary consul in Bhutan, this private commission of black juniper berries has allowed us to create a truly remarkable gin expression that exceeds the expectation of our discerning customers and fellow gin producers alike.
“It was also important to us that we could incorporate Bhutanese culture into each step of Silent Pool Black Juniper Gin’s production and we are excited to see the reaction to this truly remarkable spirit from Silent Pool Distillers, and where it may lead us to as an independent gin distillery.”
Meanwhile, the company has introduced a limited edition gin to commemorate the upcoming coronation of King Charles the Third.
The Coronation Gin is bottled at 43% ABV and contains Surrey botanicals said to be popular with the King.
