St Ives Gin made from a list of 13 botanicals. It is not a distilled gin but a cold compounded gin which is a method that dates back to the 16th century. They take the finest grain spirit and then steep the variously botanicals seperatley for 24 to 36 hours, these seperate compounds are then blended together to achieve the desired flavour and style. The gin has a pale yellow colour from the locally sourced Gorse flower with top notes of lemon citrus and juniper. The palate is smooth with citrus ortange peel , floral and juniper followed by hints of coconut husk. The special blend of 13 unique botanicals gather from the local Cornish coastline, cottage garden and clifftop are bought together to create Cornwalls first small batch cold compound gin. The secret alchemy of fresh herbs and hand foraged local botanicals create a sea breeze aroma, individual taste and unique golden hue that we and you will love. Every pour from every bottle is created by the three Thompson brothers to ensure the colour and flavour are consistent and so they are happy to add their name to the bottles.Our Perfect Pour:Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water and garnish with basil, grapefruit or lime.

In combination with the Seabuck light tonic, this has to be the most delicious, refreshing G&T I've ever tasted! Very different, but in such a good way!

Our favourite Gin ever – we discovered St Ives Gin during a Cornwall visit last year and have been enjoying it only on special occasions since, as we were worried that we would run out before we return – that was until we found out about Drinkfinder this Christmas. The taste really is something else, full of herbal Cornish flavours and depth. And all this in a beautifully designed bottle that is too good looking to sit in a cupboard. Cannot recommend highly enough!

First time I had tested this particular gin during my holiday trip to St. Ives and liked it so much that I was looking for this particular product. It has a subtle taste very different from other gins that I have taken.

This gin is amazing - has an almost chewy mouthfeel and great flavour, we brought some back from cornwall on a whim but are now ordering as gifts for friends amd to keep the liqupr cabinet full.
