The story behind The Founders' Edition

We love to tell the stories from Whitby with our gins. Lurking behind every corner and down each of its cobbled streets, a Ghoulish tale or folklore legend is waiting to be shared.

This year however we wanted to celebrate our narrative and say thank you to those who find a little bit of their soul in the town named Whitby.

It is our Founding Members who are an integral part of the town legend helping us build our Distillery in the Shadow of the Whitby Abbey.

 

The deep black bottle is reminiscent of Whitby Jet which is a million years in the making ( sorry it's taken almost the same amount of time to release it!)

This beautifully crafted spirit is made using our faithful Dora- Grace. We load her up with 14 carefully selected botanicals and leave those to rest in spirit overnight. Whilst Dora sleeps we begin the mammoth task of peeling our citrus fruits. Once complete we load the vapour infuser with the succulent orange peels and add a sprinkling of thyme. 

 

Dora is then brought to life and we let her do her magic. She effortlessly combines our authentic gin recipe with candied orange flavours extracted from the citrus peels.

We only capture the finest cut of the hearts and dilute with Yorkshire Water.
