Boadicea® Gin 'Classic', 50cl

International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) medal winner, July 2019

Boadicea Gin in its classic blue bottle is available year round. Distilled in copper to create an ultra-smooth London dry gin. Deliciously enjoyable on its own over ice, or add just a splash of tonic and garnish with orange and fresh thyme to create a longer cocktail.

First we create our spirit from the finest Norfolk barley and then gently redistil in our 300 litre copper alembic still, to vapour infuse a basket of the finest botanicals, including juniper, citrus and with a nod to the Iceni - nettle.

A delicious easy to make cocktail is one part of Boadicea Gin and one part elderflower tonic, served over ice and garnished with a slice of fresh orange and fresh thyme. We call this a Boadicea Gin Thyme!

Why a blue bottle? In Iceni times, Caesar (the Roman invader) wrote that the Britons ‘dye their bodies with woad to produce a blue colour’. We colour our bottles blue in a fitting tribute to Boadicea – the Queen of the Iceni. We also adorn our bottles with pewter triple spirals; powerful symbols of the Iceni tribe.
