Hunter’s Tea

Inspired by the classic apres-ski sip Jagertee, this experimental drop delivers a warm welcome

Traditionally made with overproof rum, we made this deliciously ginny take on the alpine classic by loading Prudence with juniper, cloves, star anise, nutmeg and plums. We allow the botanicals to macerate overnight before adding dried orange peel and infusing the liquid with black tea.

The result is a delicately spiced gin that’s equally at home in a mountain chalet as it is on your drinks trolley. Use it to whip up a creamy Alpine Fizz or as the star ingredient in an Après Negroni. Alternatively, for a serve so simple you could make it while wearing ski gloves, combine 50ml Hunters Tea with a splash of soda over ice in a highball glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Tasting Notes:
The Nose: Soft warming fruit combines with juniper and light floral tones.

The Palate: : Intense notes of herbal juniper and fresh pine, as well as sweet stone fruit.

The Finish: The long herbal and dry pine finish gives way to sweet tannic tea.
