Simon Ford of The 86 Company developed this gin with Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillers. It is flavoured with 9 botanicals (juniper, coriander seeds, orris, jasmine, angelica, cassia, bitter orange, lemon and grapefruit peels) steeped for 15 hours before distillation in 500-litre steel pot stills. The innovative bottle is designed for ease of use by bartenders and includes a scale with measures in fluid ounces and litres to allow greater inventory control and batching of cocktails.
