A gin-ious way to use park’s botanical garden

-

TATTON Park are celebratin­g the launch of their new signature botanical gin which boasts sensationa­l flavours from plants foraged from their formal gardens.

It is now on sale in Tatton Park’s Housekeepe­r’s Store and will make the perfect gift and tipple for Christmas.

Using the freshest botanicals, Tatton Park Gin is a fragrant celebratio­n of the garden’s rich horticultu­ral heritage.

Featuring an aromatic blend of sweet lavender, sage, and wild golden marjoram from the walled kitchen gardens and Hinoki and Sawara cypress leaves from Tatton’s iconic Japanese Garden, the signature gin is inspired by Tatton

Park’s unique collection of plants from around the world.

For every bottle sold a donation will be made to the Tatton Park Charitable Trust, a charity set up in 2005, with the purpose of developing education and conservati­on projects for the benefit of the public in and around Tatton Park.

The gin is distilled in small batches by local, award-winning Big Hill Distillery based in Mobberley, who have worked closely with

Tatton Park’s head gardener Simon Tetlow to create a perfect balance of unique garden botanicals.

Tatton’s first signature gin highlights their iconic 100-year-old Japanese garden which is one of the finest in the country.

David Clayton, co-founder, and distiller, said: “We’re very proud to produce this first gin for Tatton Park.

“From the moment I started to explore the vast gardens with head gardener Simon Tetlow, it became obvious that we had the opportunit­y and the challenge to create something very special that does justice to the rich ingredient­s on offer across the garden zones, from Japanese cypress to English lavender and sage, the gardens provide an abundance of flavour that has been carefully captured in this London Dry Gin.”
