The Newcastle Gin Co, boasts the city’s first commercial distillery in over two hundred years. Our still room literally touches the ancient City Wall.
As with all good things, patience is the key to Newcastle Gin. It takes over seventy-two hours for us to lovingly create our light floral gin using a combination of age-old distilling techniques, including maceration and vapour infusion through a 450L traditional copper pot still with our vapour botanical basket. We even use Newcastle City water to take down the final new make spirit from 78% to a strong but hearty 43%.
We distill with nine botanicals, juniper, sumac, orange peel, Iranian hibiscus, rose petal, coriander and three secret ingredients.
