Rosehip & Hibiscus Gin
Our Rosehip & Hibiscus Gin can trace its origins back to Jared’s travels through Marrakesh and Dubai, where the sights and smells of the souks left him inspired to experiment with different florals in his distilling. Returning to the Sipsmith Lab with his bag full of exotic flowers and a head brimming with ideas, he set about creating the pink, petalled perfection you see today.
Tasting Notes
The Nose
Sweet summer fruits and succulant wild strawberries.

A mellow and tangy citrus.

To finish, delicious wild red berries.

More Product Information
One of the first gins we trialled in the new Sipsmith Distillery Lab over a year ago, this Rosehip & Hibiscus recipe has gone through several iterations. Using dried hibiscus picked by Jared on his travels to the souks of Marrakesh and Dubai earlier this year, a light citrus, delicate floral note is balanced perfectly with the richer, more complex tones from the rosehips. Hibiscus can easily overpower when distilled, so it took several combinations of time and quantity to perfect the recipe. The result? Pink petalled perfection.
Perfect with Mediterranean tonic with rose petal garnish.
