sit down with Will to sample different botanical distillates while he works slowly towards blending the client’s perfect gin – a service which they still offer to this day, to some extremely high-end businesses including British Airways, many Cambridge University colleges and the House of Lords, as well as discerning individuals looking for the ‘pinnacle of spirits personalisation’. The couple are steadfastly discreet about which particular famous faces have come through the Distillery’s doors, but will reveal that Olympians, actors and “national-treasure-status” TV presenters are amongst their alumni. After tailoring, came the Seasonal Gins: biannual, limited edition spirits first exclusively stocked by London’s Selfridges, created from botanicals harvested in the preceding six months. Lucy and Will had been collecting seasonal botanicals to use in the creation of their clients’ tailored gins, but realised these distillates had additional potential as sapid recordings of the passing years.
