Specialist drinks importer and distributor Amathus Drinks has launched The Gardener Gin in the UK.
The Gardener is the latest collaboration from movie star Brad Pitt and the Perrin family of French winemakers, who first joined forces in 2012 to launch a rosé wine. They have now teamed up with Master Distiller Tom Nichol, formerly of Tanqueray, to produce a gin that “captures the soul of the French Riviera”.
Made from wheat in copper stills, the organic certified gin is described as “an unconventional blend of both fresh and dry citruses – pink grapefruit, bright lemon and the yin and yang of sweet and bitter orange from the Cap d’Antibes area”.
Greg Kimber, Head of Agency Spirits at Amathus Drinks, commented: “We’re admirers of Tom Nichol’s work, who is such an important and influential figure in the gin business, and with Pitt and Famille Perrin he has helped create a lively and modern gin that captures the art-de-vivre of the French Riviera.
“Thanks to their considered mix of bitter orange, sweet orange and pink grapefruit, all grown locally in the heart of the French Riviera, the gin has a rich and balanced taste.”
The Gardener Gin (ABV 42%, 70cl, RSP £55) is available exclusively from Amathus Drinks.
