Dockyard Gin: A Contemporary Take on a Naval Tradition
Celebrate the rich heritage of Chatham Dockyard with Dockyard Gin, an innovative and category-defying spirit. This contemporary take on traditional naval gins is a testament to the home of Copper Rivet Distillery and their commitment to crafting exceptional spirits.
Distilled in the distillery's unique, patented copper still named "Janet," Dockyard Gin starts with their own "grain to glass" Copper Rivet Grain spirit. This is then infused with a meticulously selected blend of the finest botanicals sourced from across the globe, including juniper, elderflower, coriander, orange and lemon peels, green cardamom, grains of paradise, angelica, and orris root.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: A delightfully floral bouquet with elderflower and orris root, balanced by a subtle, almost woody juniper and a hint of vanilla.
Taste: A refreshing, aromatic palate where zesty lemon and juniper lead the way. Sweet, green elderflower and a warm, spiced coriander follow, with angelica and orris root providing a smooth, moreish finish.
The result is a gin that is both refreshing and complex, steering tradition into unexpected waters. Perfect for a classic gin and tonic with a pink grapefruit garnish, or as the sophisticated base for your favourite cocktail creations.
