Spirits have traditionally been associated with moments of contemplation. Taking in faultless fragrance, mesmerising colour or sublime flavours can provoke further introspection or inspiration. With an incredible juiciness and subtle viscosity, our Orange & Saffron gin could very easily be the ultimate self-fulfilling prophecy - because not only does it have everything needed to inspire those ever-important moments of reverie, it’s a gin that’s been on our minds for a long time. So take a sip, pause, and meditate on it with us.
Signature Serve
Bee’s Knees
When contemplating the origins of sayings, the phrase “bee’s knees” is certainly one of the most thought-provoking. Do bees actually have knees? Why would knees on bees be a good thing? Before embarking on this or any other of life’s great mysteries, make yourself one of these to keep you company. The combination of honey and lemon creates a rather sweet syrup that could just as easily be used in your tea. But we prefer it in gin.

Swan Valley Highball
It’s not quite a gin and soda. Not quite a Valencia Martini or even a Sherry Cobbler either. It’s definitely not your standard Gin Rickey, so what exactly is our Swan Valley Highball? Well, we think it’s the ultimate tall glass of refreshment that maybe you didn’t even know you were missing in your life. Juicy, sweet and thirst-quenching, it’s the perfect cocktail for our Orange & Saffron gin and proof that simplicity can walk hand in hand with sophistication.
