Sibling Distillery Triple Distilled Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Sibling’s botanical flavour was developed after extensive market research and includes unique botanicals such as Madagascan Vanilla pods and British Blueberries that give the gin a contemporary, modern taste, which is vapour infused for maximum freshness. In the distillery tour and tasting, we open the barn doors and invite you in to see all areas of our business and how we make our award winning gins. It lasts around two hours and includes a tour, tasting, light lunch and education on all things gin followed by gin ‘pub quiz’, Q&A yand the G&Ts are bottomless! We're VERY excited to officially announce that our December tipple is Sibling Gin,made in Cheltenham by four - you guessed it - siblings. After a year of development, they launched Sibling Triple Distilled Gin, which was their first and only product for the first three years of trading, before moving to a new distillery and launching their seasonal range in early 2017. The distillery was founded in 2014 when Felix was 22, Clarice 20, Cicely 18 and Digby 15. The Elliott-Berrys grew up in the drinks industry, watching (and eventually helping) their parents, Roland and Stephanie, run Battledown Brewery in Cheltenham. Inspired by their upbringing, the siblings knew that they wanted to run their own alcohol company one day, but didn’t take the decision to make a gin until they were on a family holiday in 2013.

After finding out from a distiller in 2012 that a gin with ginger as the predominant flavour hadn’t existed commercially for over 100 years, founder Richard Bamber set out on a journey of discovery that resulted in Brennen & Brown, the Cheltenham based distillery that produce a vast range of flavoured and special edition gins. If you’re looking for a truly immersive experience, Brennen & Brown offer fabulous and ginformative gin tasting evenings, as well as Lab Experiences for two where you can create your own bottle of gin. They are also in the process of building a Ginsperational Tasting Room to complement their experiences.A famous Georgian masterpiece, straight from a Jane Austen novel, and a popular wellbeing destination. This may all sound pretty straightforward but is substantially different from how most other distillers operate. If your base alcohol comes prepared, you can turn around a gin in a matter of hours if you wanted to. While today’s UK craft distillers take much more time to make their gin, with most runs lasting between 12 and 48 hours before the liquid is ready for bottling, in Sibling’s case, the process takes nearly three weeks! The next step for Sibling Gin is a physical move into new premises, one much larger and more suited to their workload. They want to be able to deliver tours and host events, and also work in an environment that doesn’t reach 40°C in the summer (a reasonable request, we feel). Moving will also increase capacity, meaning that they’ll be able to experiment a bit more. Nothing has been planned yet, but we can’t help but feel the need to point out how well the sugar heart of this gin would suit an Old Tom variant…

This move will also allow Sibling Distillery to work to on their green credentials too. When Cicely dropped by the Gin Foundry office recently she was on candid form, filling us in on their desire to create less waste. She is currently studying an IBD course (in the process filtering relevant information through to her siblings) that has opened up her eyes to the opportunities for creating gin in a more environmentally friendly way, and as one of their most notable USPs is their age, looking to a more sustainable future is an angle that makes a lot of sense.

The turnaround from inception to production was swift – within a year Sibling Gin had launched, a swiftness Felix attributes to the available space at their parents brewery. The most time consuming element of the process was developing the recipe, a task the siblings considered to be of utmost importance from day one. With all of them under 25 years of age, Felix, Clarice, Cicely and Digby Elliot-Berry are not only award-winning distillers, but also the youngest distillers in the world. They grew up in a family atmosphere soaked not in gin but beer, brewed by Mr. and Mrs. Elliot-Berry at the Battledown Brewery, a microbrewery that specialises in a line of premium ales that it provides for “local public houses, hotels, restaurants and shops.” By now it should be obvious that this is no weekend project, nor whimsical summer project of an impetuous youth – the work that went into creating the recipe alone is demonstrative of the drive the siblings have. It is testament to their diligent natures that they have made things as hard as possible for themselves by choosing to keep everything internal, making their base alcohol from scratch. Felix explains: “Having grown up with our parents creating beautiful craft ales from scratch we also had the desire to do everything in house and under our control.” Join a creative workshop ranging from making a willow stag’s head to Christmas wreaths and candle making.

The final botanical line up consists of ten botanicals: juniper, coriander, cardamom, orris, cubeb, liquorice, fresh orange and lemon, sliced blueberries and vanilla pods. Provenance has been placed on a pedestal for some time now, but the Sibling Distillery team are more concerned with the taste of an ingredient, rather than where it grew, so while the blueberries are local, the rest of the botanicals are sourced globally. And so they did, constantly testing their exploratory batches made on a mini-still they built with their father to figure out what tastes people enjoyed. Through those tests, they learned that most enjoy the subtler and fruitier tones - not necessarily the sharper juniper-led notes - which is how they came up with the idea to add vanilla and blueberries, making it a very untraditional London Dry.
