Devil's Botany London Dry Gin

Inspired by the old styles of gin that were popular in 18th century London, Devil’s Botany London Dry Gin is distilled with the root of liquorice, which has been used historically for its natural sweetness. Peppery notes of coriander seed and cubeb berries compliment the dark woodiness of devil’s claw root. Together, enlivened by the delicate citrus aromas of fresh lemon peel, the resulting liquid is a bright and intensely aromatic reincarnation of the so-called She-Devil, Madame Genever.

Wormwood is a herb used in the alcoholic beverages absinthe and vermouth. In Britain, it was also a common bittering agent in ales. There are many different types of wormwood, with the two most commonly used being grand wormwood (artimesia absinthium) and Roman wormwood (artimesia pontica).

Devil's Botany London Dry Gin is distilled with Roman wormwood.

Enjoy Devil's Botany London Dry Gin with your tonic of choice and a slice of lemon, or in your favourite classic cocktail like a Negroni or Martini.

In the early 20th century, wormwood was wrongfully blamed for absinthe's supposed hallucinogenic effects. These theories never quite added up as wormwood continued to be used in other drinks such as vermouth (from the German word for wormwood: Wermut) during absinthe's ban. Modern science finally caught up and disproved these myths.
