Awarded ‘Best English London Dry Gin 2021’ at the World Gin Awards, ‘The Blowing Stone’ London Dry Gin is the first in the Ashdown Series and is a tribute to Alfred’s first victory over the Danish Vikings. Batch-distilled using a three-part process, a blend of beautifully balanced botanicals which could be found locally during the middle ages is used.
 
Its delicate and distinctive flavour comes from a blend of meadowsweet, elderflower and hand-picked wild gorse from the North Wessex Downs. In the 9th Century honey was a delicacy and as the Distillers are also beekeepers, a dash is added of their home-made local honey to help smooth the flavour and provide the sumptuous mouthfeel to the gin.
