Warner’s Honeybee Gin

Not just any old honey gin. This is honeybee gin. Dedicated to the millions of teammates we’ve got on the farm.

A total winner with Mediterranean tonic and a sprig of sage if you’ve got one nearby.

A dollop of fresh honey from the beehives, juniper, coriander seed, elderflower, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, angelica root, orange peel, lemon peel, rose petal, chamomile flowers, rosemary, sage leaf, fresh root ginger, star anise, hibiscus flower, blue cornflower petals, quince, dried grapefruit peel, fresh lime peel, lavender, plus a few secret ingredients.

It has a with sweet honey and subtle spice. The palate is soft and creamy with lavender, rose and hints of grapefruit giving a little zest. The finish is smooth and enduring with the dr-sweet of juniper and elderflower followed by lingering honey.

The Story

Our bees rock. They keep our 10 acres of botanicals healthy and give us a big dollop of honey for every bottle of honeybee gin. They’re properly looked after, in tip-top hives. They’ve even got their own beekeeper to work with, or against, as they see fit. And to keep them buzzing - and the gin delicious – five acres of our farm is now a wildflower paradise. But that still wasn’t enough. So through 1% for the planet, we’re giving big environmental projects a helping hand too. This keeps the bees happy and leaves a pretty decent taste in the mouth.
