Imagine sauntering through the English countryside in the full swing of summer. Close your eyes. Breathe in deep. That’s the essence of this gorgeously aromatic and Downright Delicious Gin.
Production
Boutinot winemaker Samantha Bailey joined up with Dr John Walters...together they distilled Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes and wine from our award-winning Henners English Sparkling vineyard in East Sussex, and infused it with the highest quality, carefully selected botanicals. Our gin is distilled entirely from scratch in the English Spirits distillery in Great Yeldham using copper pot alembic stills designed by Dr John, the distiller. The method of distilling the botanicals into our gin ensures an intensity of aroma and flavour in our gin with a beautiful viscosity in the mouth from the botanic oils.

Tasting notes
A fusion of crunchy cucumber and freshly crushed curly leaf parsley provide an herbaceous base to the traditional botanicals of juniper and coriander. Add a chunky twist of pink grapefruit peel for a citrus kick and you have captured ‘the best of English summer in a bottle.
Food match
Our ideal serving suggestion is two part tonic to one part Henners Gin, over ice with fresh mint and cucumber. Adding a slice of strawberry in the summer months.

Meet the producer
When it comes to English wine there’s a lot to shout about, not least the stunning sparkling wines from Henners. Based just 4 miles from the sea in Herstmonceux, East Sussex, the 7 acre vineyard was created in 2007 by ex-Formula One engineer, Lawrence Warr. The winery was named in honour of Larry's French ancestor, Henners Dubois, who was forced to flee Paris for England during the French Revolution in the in the late 18th Century.
Boutinot was the sole distributor of Henners from this time and developed strong ties with the winery and its wines… so when the opportunity arose 10 years later to buy the estate, they jumped at the chance. Planted with traditional Champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the vines thrive in an idyllic microclimate created by the vineyard’s proximity to the sea, low altitude (only 24 metres above sea level) and steep, sunny, south facing slopes.
All Henners wines are hand-crafted from start to finish; with separate fermenting of varietals and their vine clones to allow a broader range of wines for final blending; extended lees ageing for added complexity; and holding back of all bottles for at least 3 years prior to release to add depth and richness to every wine. Hand-crafted with every attention to detail, our winemakers create award winning wines of depth, complexity and elegance that are perfect for any occasion.
