Our Henstone gin production commenced in February 2018. We now have five expressions and have won many awards!
The five very classic expressions we produce are:
________
London Dry Gin
“Unequivocally delicious”, our award winning classic London Dry Gin oozes aroma and flavour. Distilled by us it is so packed full of botanical oils it may ‘louche’ when cold or blended with ice or mixers – a totally natural reaction. Bottled at 44.9%
Perfect over ice with a chunk of orange and a good quality Indian Tonic water or great as a base for classic cocktails. Click the button below to go to our serves page for further details.

Feedback
It’s always good to receive feedback, good or bad. This is what a customer had to say recently:
“Bought my first bottle online….definitely will not be the last. One of the best London Dry’s I’ve ever tasted. Deep, full flavour and perfect with a good plain tonic, wedge of citrus and plenty of ice. Delicious”
Another customer said “Thanks so much for sorting this out – you’ve been so helpful and I’m grateful and will continue to drink your gin as it’s my absolute favourite!“

Rosé Gin
Best in Britain 2023!!! An aged London Dry Gin distilled by us with a blend of traditional botanicals. The maturation takes place in new American oak casks at 65% before bottling resulting in a subtle vanilla flavour and light golden hue. The bottling ABV is 44.9%.
We love to serve this over ice with a slice of fresh root ginger and a good quality ginger ale. Equally good neat over ice with a piece of orange. Click the button below to go to our serves page for further details.

Sloe Gin
Launched in November 2022, this Sloe Gin was our first new gin expression in four years! It is made with sloe berries foraged by the team from the hedgerows of Shropshire and The Marches. We broke the mould too by bottling this at 40%, which is strong for a sloe gin. The 2023 batch has been popular and has only very limited number left, grab a bottle today and enjoy!
It’s perfect on its own (perhaps in your hip flask), with your favourite tonic or topped up with prosecco! Whichever way you decide to drink it, we hope you enjoy.

Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn Gin
Brand new for the spring of 2023 is our Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn Gin. We’ve used loads of fresh strawberries and bashed up pink peppercorns to create this beautiful expression. Bottled at 40% ABV it is perfect with ice, tonic and a strawberry garnish. The flavour and colour are totally natural and there is no added sugar.
At it’s base is our classic London Dry in which we have then steeped (technical term is compounded) the berries and peppercorns for a very precise period of time.
