Marylebone Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Nose: Floral citrus blossom and aromatic chamomile, with underlying (somewhat festive) hints of clove and orange. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, but sometimes you hit the right spot, and I think the Marylebone does – and I think the fact that we’re not diluting the flavours as much as well by having it overproof, but it’s still quite delicate as well works.

It’s owned by my second cousin, Sam Neill, who you’ll probably know as the actor from Jurassic Park , and he’s a lovely gentleman. But I’ve got a lease on a bigger premises on the Yattendon Estate at the moment and we’re planning to put a bigger pot still in place so we can really start developing the brand and the range. Cape gooseberries (physalis), a bittersweet aromatic citrus fruit that’s quite tart but has a lovely aroma different to orange peel or lemon peel.

With a spacious private dining room, it’s also the perfect place for an event, celebration, or large get-togethers. JN: Originally I wanted to make something very British with some floral botanicals, so things like hyacinth and dandelion and elderflower that would stand out in a classic London Dry. We’re building a glass screen around it, but it will be on show all the time, so people can come down and look at it.

Choose from over 30 wines and pair your grape with modern European delicacies prepared by a Michelin-starred chef. True to its name, the quirky establishment is foliage-filled and sits nestled (pun intended) atop the Treehouse hotel.
