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 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.
