St. Giles Gin - Best Gin From UK

28/06/2018 On this page you will find information about St. Giles Gin

St. Giles Gin is the spirit of adventure. Inspired by journeys around the globe and created in their custom-made copper still, this exceptional gin is hand-crafted by infusing an elegant blend of 11 exotic botanicals, including grains of paradise, rose petals and lemongrass.

The result is a remarkably smooth and fruity gin, with subtle citrus and floral notes. Enjoy on its own with ice, or add a splash of tonic and twist of orange. As a professional diver, St. Giles Gin’ founder, Simon Melton, has been fortunate to venture to lots of unusual places around the world, giving him ample opportunities to explore a wide variety of delicious gins.

On his exciting journeys, he invested years of research and visited many distilleries, all in passionate pursuit of his beloved spirit.

BORN UNDER BIG SKIES

Returning home to Norfolk, the land of big skies and wide coastlines, gave Simon the perfect setting for quiet contemplation and dreaming of his next adventure; producing and perfecting a recipe for his own exceptional gin.

And now, with the help of head distiller Pete Margree and a beautiful custom-made copper still named Anna, that dream has finally been realised.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

St. Giles is an area in London that was synonymous with gin shops in the 18th century and it also happens to be a historic road in the fine city of Norwich, where Simon and his family have their own 18th-century shop.

This exceptional gin is hand-crafted using a delicate blend of exotic botanicals. We simply want St. Giles, our modern, elegant gin with its global flavour, to be the byword for quality and taste.

HOW TO ENJOY

St. Giles Gin is remarkably smooth and makes a great sipping gin - so enjoy on its own with ice, or with a splash of your favourite tonic and twist of orange.
