East London Liquor Company Releases Peated Gin

let’s begin

Continuing their Barrel-Aged Gin Programme, East London Liquor Company release 311 bottles of their peated Barrel-Aged Gin, perfect in a Peat + Tonic.

THE BIG SMOKE

Available from 16 April 2018, East London Liquor Company is releasing 311 bottles of their latest Barrel-Aged Gin: their hero London Dry Gin, aged for 47 weeks in an ex-peated whisky barrel. The results are pretty spectacular. Sitting at 47%abv, fresh rosemary and smoked, caramelised oranges first hit the nose for a warming yet refreshing aroma. On the palate, the gin is creamy and excellently balanced; with the drinker first enjoying bright citrus notes, followed by a pepperiness from the spices at the back of the throat and finishing with an earthy smokiness.

To best highlight the flavour of the gin, Brand Ambassador Mikey Pendergast suggests two recommended serves:

Peat and Tonic

1 (25ml) Part East London Liquor Company Barrel-Aged Gin
Top with Indian tonic
Garnish with a slice of fresh ginger

Build in your favourite glass, garnish with ginger and enjoy with good company.

Gin-A-Cillin

50ml East London Liquor Company Barrel-Aged Gin
25ml Lemon juice
15ml Liquid honey
10ml Fresh ginger juice
Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice, shake then strain into a rocks glass with a half-salted rim

BARREL-AGED GIN PROGRAMME

This is the first Barrel-Aged Gin released for 2018 by East London Liquor Company, and is a part of their
continuing Barrel-Aged Gin Programme. Throughout the year, the distillery will continue to release various
iterations of barrel-aged gin, highlighting the range of casks in their maturation room. Launched in January
2016, previous Barrel-Aged Gins released from Bow Wharf include their London Dry Gin rested a selection

LONDON DRY GIN (40% ABV)

Known as East London Liquor Company’s hero gin, their London Dry Gin is a juniper-forward, well-balanced
gin. It’s distilled using the finest 100% British wheat spirit infused with fresh lemon & grapefruit peel,
coriander, angelica root, juniper berries, cubeb berries and cardamom.
