Description

The inspiration for our gin recipe dates back to 1665, when the survivors of a ship, wrecked around Bishop Rock, were rescued by bold crewmen in Pilot Gig boats from this island, St Mary’s. Part of that ship’s rich cargo was pepper from Java for the Spice Trade, and so pepper is one of the 6 main botanicals, plus juniper (reflective of the 6 oarsmen plus cox of the gigs) that make up our bold vibrant Island Gin. were rescued by bold crewmen in Pilot Gig boats from this island, St Mary’s.
