Rose & Hollyhock Gin 500ml

Sustainably distilled, 100% natural botanicals and a fabulous rosé tint from hollyhocks and damask rose. Because pink and floral are always in style.

In collaboration with our good friends at The Secret Garden Distillery, we’ve created the ultimate pink gin. First and foremost, this is a dry and serious piece of kit. It’s crafted using juniper, angelica root, coriander, lemon verbena, geranium, damask rose and hollyhock flowers, all of which are grown in the Secret Garden itself.

Wonderfully aromatic, it opens with a big hit of comforting juniper, instantly letting you know that this is proper gin. Rather than dominating the flavour profile, rose provides sweet notes of Turkish delight, which are the perfect counterfoil to all that peppery, piney juniper. Lemon verbena brings a refreshing citrus element, while the dark hollyhock flowers deliver that stunning colour and delicate herbal notes. When it comes to a G&T, we recommend the Harvey Nichols Classic Tonic Water to maximise the gin experience and to elevate the citrus notes. But if you want to up the fruitiness and summer vibes, then opt for our Raspberry & Mint Tonic Water. Alternatively, the interplay between the rose, raspberry and citrus in a Clover Club cocktail is sensational, or adopt a less-is-more approach with a simple rosé-hued Martini. Our Spirits Buyer Nick Larsson-Bell (Retail Buyer of the Year 2022) also loves the complexity this gin gives to a Negroni.

In 2012, The Secret Garden Distillery was no more than a derelict plot of land at the foot of the Pentland Hills on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Now it’s a verdant oasis, home to over 600 different kinds of plants and some of the world’s most exciting gins. They create sustainable spirits that are deeply rooted in nature and have a minimal impact on the environment. All the botanicals used, from the juniper to the signature flowers and herbs, are tended by hand using no chemicals or fertilisers whatsoever, before being handpicked, air-dried, and lovingly infused. There are no added sugars, artificial colourings, flavourings or additives; this is gin as nature intended.
