Brecon Rose Petal Gin (70cl)

Laura Davies, our Distiller, who created the gins said –

‘The award-winning Brecon Gin series has been expanded using Brecon Special Reserve as a base for three new exciting flavoured expressions. These flavoured and coloured gins have been created with balance and creativity and will hopefully create more interest for our regular Brecon Gin customers, and bring new drinkers to the brand and the category.’

The bottles were designed by acclaimed drinks designer Glenn Tutssel who is also one of our directors, and the gins have been created by our all-women distilling team. Glenn said -

‘I have always loved botanical illustration and was very fortunate to have designed a set of stamps featuring 10 botanical illustrations for the Royal Mail, which I researched at Kew gardens and the Victoria & Albert Museum. There I discovered the artworks and notebooks of La Redoute and Ehret which inspired the new gin labels. I liked the freshness and detail of the illustration, but was also fascinated by the written notes. When I designed the labels (the flower images were created by illustrator Andrew Davidson) it seemed appropriate to include the information on the front in handwritten form rather than ‘hide’ it on the back. This also makes it more attractive to consumers.’
