  Item no.: 2222786537-9874

  In 2012, Karl Mason started a Facebook page about Gin & Tonic Friday, which gathered 10,000 followers and gave him and his wife Cathy the confidence to quit their jobs. Two years later, Yorkshire's first distillery opened.

  Expert's description

  Masons Dry Yorkshire Gin The Original is an English London Dry Gin distilled on ten botanicals and bottled at 42%.

  The gin is distilled in Yorkshire in copper stills named "Steve" and "Leftie" and cut to strength with spring water from Harrogate. Botanicals include juniper, cardamom, coriander, lemon and lime peel, angelica root, fennel, almond, orange zest and bay leaf, alongside a handful of secret ingredients.

  The result is a warm, spiced gin with a hint of hot-cross-bun complexity and a gentle aniseed finish, which has won over 90 international awards since launching in 2013.

  Masons Slow Distilled Sloe Dry Yorkshire Gin England 70 cl 42%

  Item no.: 2222786537-9875

  Instead of steeping sloe berries in an already-distilled gin, Masons of Yorkshire adds the berries right at the start and distils them alongside the rest of the botanicals - a slower, but more integrated method.

  Expert's description

  Masons Slow Distilled Sloe Gin is an English gin distilled with sloe berries and bottled at 42%.

  The gin is built on the same base as Masons Dry Yorkshire Gin The Original, but adds sloe berries during the distillation itself rather than letting them steep in the finished gin afterwards. The method produces a natural sweetness and a lingering dryness that sets it apart from many other sloe gins.

  The result is a complex hedgerow of flavour and aroma, where sweet blackberry and a touch of spice meet the sloe berry's characteristic tartness.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Sweet blackberry and a touch of spice meet juniper and a hint of liquorice.

  Palate

  The palate is complex, with sloe berry and spice first, before juniper breaks through to balance the sweet, lingering berry fruit.

  Finish

  The finish is dry, with a last trace of liquorice and berries.

  Unlike most sloe gins, where the berries steep in a finished gin, Masons distils the sloe berries together with the rest of the botanicals from the very start.
