The Spirit of Bristol Hotwells Spice Gin

About The Distillery

At The Spirit of Bristol Distillery, they proudly employ the time-honoured one-shot method in their gin crafting—a technique that ensures every bottle is infused with depth and character.

They carefully macerate our botanicals in a pot with the base spirit, allowing them to steep before running the still. The result is the heart of the spirit, a botanical distillate, pure and unadulterated, which is then proofed with water and bottled at its perfect strength

Hotwells Spice Tasting Note

Inspired by the bustling spice trade of Bristol’s past, Hotwells Spice Gin is an aromatic adventure. The nose greets you with warm cloves, bright pepper, and the herbal freshness of lime leaf and nettle. On the palate, juniper blends effortlessly with floral pepper notes from cubebs and grains of paradise, while cardamom and lime leaf add a zesty, herbal complexity. The finish is dry, with a lingering warmth that’s rich with spice.

Driven by the Asian spices that would once have come to Bristol via Hotwells, enjoy it neat to experience the full depth, or pair with tonic to let the bright citrus and peppery notes truly shine.
