Hip Hop Gin
Taking East Kent Golding hops, famed for their subtle herbal and citrus qualities, Ollie combined them with delicate rosehips and a touch of grapefruit peel to craft this beer-inspired, lightly citrus, beautifully ripe gin.
Tasting Notes
The Nose
Starts with a peppery and green earthiness, giving way to subtle citrus.
The Palate
Ripe hibiscus, floral and raspberry leaf notes with hints of spice.
The Finish
Bright, long finish balanced by a delicate sweetness.
More Product Information
Our Head Distiller Ollie has long had a penchant for all things sippical, in fact before he joined the world of gin, his past life was as a brewer. It can come as no surprise then that Ollie was fascinated by the marriage of these two seemingly opposing drinks and wanted to experiment with the distillation of one of the primary ingredients in beer; hops. Taking these beer-learnings and applying them to our little copper still, Cygnet, Hip Hop Gin was born.
