Wessex Alfred the Great Gin 0.7L 41.3%

2017

With the aim of producing a variety of particularly fresh and fruity gins using local products, the Clark family founded the Wessex Distillery in 2017. The family, especially Jonathan Clark, is no stranger to the gin world; he founded and ran the City of London Distillery until the Wessex Distillery was founded.

Alfred the Great Gin

The name of the gin, as well as the ingredients it contains, allude to the time of Alfred the Great, King of Wessex. Historical research was used to find out which herbs, spices and plants were grown in the capital at that time.

When tasting, it is clear that Wessex Alfred the Great is a very balanced and smooth gin. At first it is very close to nature, with juniper and earthy angelica notes. Pine juniper stands for Alfred's battles against the Vikings. This is accompanied by spicy notes of coriander and some fresh notes of lemon. This represents his appreciation of learning and scholarship as well as his close connection to Rome. And at the end, slightly floral aromas are recognizable, leading to a sophisticated, balanced finish.

Wessex Wyvern's Spiced Gin 0,7L 40,3%

Wessex Wyvern's Spiced Gin 0.7L 40.3% Roots in the Middle Ages The Wessex distillery has devoted itself entirely to the time when Wessex was founded. Much of it revolves around the time around 871 AD, when Alfred the Great was King of Wessex. They deal with the variety of aromas at that time and research the plant world of that time. What was primarily grown in the region and which botanicals were said to have which effects? All of this is knowledge from the Anglo-Saxon manuscript called the 'Herbarium'. Exotic Gin The Spiced Gin 'Wyvern' from the Wessex distillery is a thoroughly exotic representative of this category. It is based on the myths of the Arthurian legend of old England and is a completely new interpretation of a classic London Dry Gin. The bottle design has also been adapted for each individual gin. Here it shows the Wyvern, a two-legged dragon that symbolizes Wessex. The strong and full-bodied gin impresses with a balanced mixture of herbs that were added for 12 hours before distillation.

Wessex Saxon Garden Gin 0,7L 40,3%

Wessex Saxon Garden Gin 0.7L 40.3% Special design Before the release of the new Wessex products, the distillery teamed up with a design company to design the bottle. Boundless Brand Design convinced them the most and together they created a bottle that stands out from all the others on the already overloaded gin shelves. The shape of the bottles is reminiscent of old apothecary bottles and each label is designed slightly differently. And another special feature of the Wessex Gin bottles is the bottle neck, which came from a reproduced silver penny coin from the time of Alfred the Great, who was the first King of Wessex in 871 AD. Delicate floral notes Wessex Saxon Garden is the perfect gin for long summer evenings. In addition to the main ingredient juniper, it was distilled from extracts of rose petals, hibiscus flowers and aromatic lavender. These floral, fresh notes combine excellently with the character of the dry London Dry Gin and are very refreshing. Gin Fizz cocktail: 1 sugar cube 3-4 cl orange bitters approx. 80 ml champagne or sparkling wine 4 cl Wessex Saxon Gin Put the sugar cube and bitters in a champagne flute. Add the gin and top up with champagne.

Wessex The Gooseberry and Elderflower Gin 0,7L 40%

Wessex The Gooseberry and Elderflower Gin 0.7L 40% Regional Gin In 2017, the family-run Wessex distillery set itself the task of creating some exceptional gins, which are primarily made from regional products. Great importance is also attached to the history of Wessex, which is why some products refer to myths, old recipes or forgotten botanicals. The deep roots in the beginnings of Wessex and the reign of the first King of Wessex, Alfred the Great, are also often reflected in the individual products. Gooseberry and elderflower This Wessex Gin combines the piquant-sour notes of gooseberries with the sweet, fruity aroma of elderflowers. Gooseberries find their way into the gin in the form of juice, and elderflowers are also distilled into juice. This is done in a vacuum still. Here, the aromas can be extracted under high pressure but at lower temperatures. This is a gentler method and produces a stronger aroma. The interplay of the piquant, sour gooseberry with the floral aroma of the elderberry is perfectly matched to the citrus notes and earthy tones of the London Dry Gin base and offers depth and warmth.

Wessex English Sloe Gin 0,7L 28%

Wessex English Sloe Gin 0.7L 28% Clark family The founders of the Wessex distillery are members of the Clark family. Jonathan Clark, founder and responsible for production at the City of London Distillery for several years, founded the new distillery together with his family in 2017. Initially it was just a 'lifestyle distillery', but Jonathan aspired to more and saw the potential in the Wessex distillery to build a good reputation on the gin market. Initially the distillery presented itself at regional markets, and in 2019 the first bottle of Wessex Gin was sold at the Surrey County Show and the story took its course. Many orders came in and the order situation already looked very good for the Christmas season, but there were still many discussions with potential customers, wine merchants and farm shops to be had. Today, the Wessex distillery's range includes five products. Wessex English Sloe Gin For the Sloe Gin, only sloe berries are sourced from the English countryside. Together with sugar, a sweet mixture of berries and juice is created, which is then macerated for seven months. The spicy notes of the juniper, which forms the basis of the London Dry Gin, take a back seat and allow the fruity, sweet taste of the sloe berries to take precedence.

Wessex Sicilian Lemon and Ginger Gin 0,7L 40,3%

Wessex Sicilian Lemon and Ginger Gin 0.7L 40.3% For the British Wessex distillery, it is particularly important to use plants, flowers and herbs that reflect Wessex in medieval times. Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and herbaria were particularly helpful for this research, as they provided information on exactly what was being planted at that time and also on the healing properties of individual plants or herbs. For example, there is chamomile, which was said to relieve eye problems when picked before sunrise, or hibiscus, which was said to cure gout when crushed in combination with lard, etc. Sicilian Lemon & Ginger is the latest addition to the Wessex Gin series and offers a delicious, spicy, new variation of gin. The recipe for this gin includes peels of freshly harvested Sicilian lemons (depending on seasonal availability) combined with warming root ginger. Sicilian Lemon & Ginger perfectly combines all the scents and aromas of natural Sicilian lemon with the sharp, spicy notes of ginger, surrounded by distinctive juniper notes - all beautifully balanced.

Wessex Wyverns Classic Gin 0,7L 47%

Wessex Wyverns Classic Gin 0.7L 47% Wessex Gin The Wessex Distillery was founded with the idea of passing on a piece of Wessex to the world. This took a lot of time and they experimented back and forth to find out which herbs, plants, fruits and berries were already present in medieval Wessex and how they could authentically convey this taste. A so-called 'herbarium', a collection of dried plants or plant parts that come from different centuries for special scientific purposes, was a great help. This enabled the employees to find out more quickly what was mainly grown in Wessex at that time. Wyvern's Classic Gin For the new Wyverns Classic Gin, the selected botanicals are macerated for over 12 hours to create a wonderfully balanced aroma. Distillation then takes place and a spicy, fiery gin is created. One speculates whether this is a nod to the non-fire-breathing dragons depicted on the label that once roamed through Wessex. But there are no limits to your imagination. Juniper is clearly the focus here, and liquorice notes are also noticeable and develop into sweet overtones reminiscent of delicate honey.
