Uncorking the Essence of Herefordshire:

This award-winning gin (Bronze medal at the 2020 International Wines & Spirits Competition) celebrates the region's bounty, blending classic gin botanicals with the vibrant flavours of freshly pressed rhubarb and Bramley apples.
Aromatic Adventure:
The first encounter with Chase Rhubarb & Bramley Apple Gin is an aromatic adventure. As you raise the glass to your nose, a wave of fresh, tart rhubarb immediately takes centre stage. It's reminiscent of springtime rhubarb crumbles, warm from the oven, laced with a hint of sweet, cinnamon spice. Nestled beneath this vibrant top layer lies a whisper of crisp, juicy Bramley apple. The interplay between these fruity notes and the earthy, piney juniper characteristic of gin creates a truly captivating aroma.
A Symphony of Flavours on the Palate:
The taste of Chase Rhubarb & Bramley Apple Gin is a symphony of flavours that mirrors the enticing bouquet. The tangy rhubarb explodes on the palate, offering a burst of sweet and sour acidity. This is beautifully balanced by the crisp, juicy character of the Bramley apples, adding a refreshing depth to the gin. The juniper presence is subtle yet undeniable, weaving through the fruit flavours and providing a touch of warmth and complexity. The finish is long and lingering, with the tartness of rhubarb taking centre stage once more, complemented by the warming sensation of cinnamon.
Crafting the Perfect Serve:
To fully appreciate the delightful balance of flavours in Chase Rhubarb & Bramley Apple Gin, a simple serve is all you need. Fill a highball glass with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Top it up with a premium tonic water, ensuring a clean, crisp flavour that won't overpower the delicate fruit notes. For a touch of visual appeal and a delightful burst of flavour, garnish with a thin slice of fresh apple or a sprig of rosemary.
