It’s official- gin is very ‘in’! A sophisticated and complex spirit, its distinctive taste is always based on juniper berries but flavour variations are created with a careful balance of botanicals. The juniper is the ‘canvas’ for the other botanicals to bring to life. A distinctive, natural display of herbs, spices, roots and fruits – including dandelion and burdock, liquorice, thyme and lemon balm, wrap themselves decoratively around the Bee.
The award-winning Manchester Gin comes from a small, independent distillery located in the city centre, producing the fl nest gins that are traditionally distilled in copper column stills. Contemporary in style, each bottle is lovingly handcrafted by Seb and Jen, a couple who met and fell in love in the heart of Manchester.
