A classic London Dry gin made using botannicals from the greenhouses at Chatsworth House.
A small batch artisan spirit uses select botanicals sourced from the grounds and greenhouses of the Chatsworth Estate, resulting in a classic London dry gin whose ingredients include Chatsworth Estate lemon verbena, lemongrass and lemons. What makes this gin extra special is the inclusion of banana leaf from the Cavendish bananas; the herbal quality of these balance the citrus notes perfectly.
Made by Peak Ales on the Chatsworth estate.
The Cavendish banana was brought to Chatsworth in 1820 by the 6th Duke of Devonshire's head gardener, Joseph Paxton. Paxton named the banana plant “Musa Cavenishii “after his employer, William George Spencer Cavendish. Specimens of this plant were cultivated in the Canary Islands and South Seas, and they were also later introduced to South and Central America after Panama disease devastated existing plantations of the ‘Gros Michel' banana. Today all export bananas and almost half of all bananas grown worldwide are from the dwarf Cavendish cultivar.
Serve as a classic Gin and tonic with your favourite tonic and garnish.
