Restaurant Reading L’Ortolan Gin
First introduced from New Zealand in the 1800s, bees feed on this pretty bush to make Manuka honey, grown here in the UK at Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall.
Tweaking the original Sipsmith London dry gin with the Manuka, we have extracted the essential oils which gives the gin very fine, fresh and niche aromas of pine and citrus with a playful yet subtle spicy finish.
Floral, sweet with woody notes, mixed with a dash of fever tree tonic and our very own garnish and believed to have antibacterial and medicinal properties, it’s basically just what the doctor ordered!
