Silent Pool Gin

Silent Pool Gin is a 43% ABV English gin named after the spring-fed pool near the distillery in the Surrey Hills. Its recipe uses more than twenty-four botanicals, combining familiar gin ingredients with flowers, citrus and a small contribution of local honey. The broad recipe is arranged around juniper, so the gin remains clear in style despite its many layers.

Vetiver adds an earthier, root-like note in the background, helping the florals and citrus feel connected rather than separate.

The finish moves through floral detail, cardamom and a light botanical dryness, with enough depth to make the gin interesting even before a mixer is added.
