Shakespeare Distillery launches ‘1588' a new Navy Strength Gin
and live on Freeview channel 276
Inspired by the fruits and spices of 16th-century trade routes, the team have combined delicious flavours of Orange and Currants with the warming spices of Cinnamon, Ginger, Allspice, Rosemary, Coriander and Angelica. The team suggests serving 1588 with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, plenty of ice, and a slice of orange. Or alternatively try as a fantastic Negroni cocktail with Gin, Sweet Vermouth and Campari.
Simon Picken, Director at Shakespeare Distillery said, “We’re delighted to launch our 1588 Gin. Here at Shakespeare Distillery, we wanted to craft a really juniper forward gin, full of flavour. At 57 per cent this Navy Strength Gin boasts a wonderful fruity and robust finish that packs a real punch. It seemed apt to name it after the year of one the most legendary naval triumphs of the Shakespearean era!
