Golden Treacle Gin Liqueur

Perfect for sipping or spilling over pancakes, this sticky gin is a truly British take on last year’s Black Maple. If one were to open a 19th century larder or a 21st century kitchen cupboard, there would be just one identical product in both: Lyle’s Golden Syrup. Except for a brief period during the First World War, when they abandoned tin for cardboard, Lyle’s packaging and logo hasn’t changed since 1883, making it the world’s oldest unchanged brand packaging – which we think is pretty cool! We’ve taken our classic London Dry Gin and created a rich, smoky depth by adding dry lapsang souchong tea leaves; then we added a blend of golden syrup and bittersweet black treacle, giving us a phenomenally smooth and luxurious gin liqueur. Top with fresh apple juice and garnish with a lime wedge for a super simple serve, or just pour over ice.

Nose: Sweet molasses with notes of fresh pine

Palate: Indulgent treacle crème brûlée balanced with ice tea

Finish: Caramelised sugars, lapsang souchong and charred pine
