Detailed Description
Here we have the 1881 London Dry Hydro Gin, produced at the Peebles Hydro! With 12 botanicals, hawthorn, birch, fir and citrus are at the core of this one (alongside juniper, of course), so it’s a rather leafy tipple. Before bottling, it’s blended with water from the distillery’s private spring in Peebles. Don’t forget a wedge of grapefruit when you have this one in a G&T.
1881 London Dry Hydro Gin | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Delightful aroma.
Palate: Rather foresty, with piney leaves and juniper, oily citrus and subtle woodiness.
Finish: The finish is surprisingly long and warming.
Distillery Information
Named after the year the Peebles Hydro was built, the 1881 Distillery and Gin School officially opened in October 2019. Originally a retreat for therapeutic water treatments, the hotel attracted visitors from around the world to come and alleviate themselves of their aches and woes. Built around the Shieldgreen spring, a private spring on the hotel’s estate, the fresh and mineral rich water was said to be ‘legendary’ for its therapeutic properties. Skip to present day and such claims of health benefits remain unfounded.
