Trevethan Chauffeur's Reserve Gin

Trevethan Distillery

Trevethan Chauffeur's Reserve Gin 57% - 70cl

Trevethan gin is a Cornish gin made by friends John Hall & Rob Cuffe in a small alembic still called Doris. The recipe was originally created by Rob's grandfather in the late 1920's and has been painstakingly revived by the modern day distillers through trial and error over 2 years. The Chauffeur's reserve is th same recipe as the Trevethan Original but a considerably stronger ABV, as would be for a Navy Strength. The extra strength helps further eliven the 10 original botanicals. Quite a gin!

The Taste

Similar to the Trevethan Oringinal but a bit more of a hit! First and foremost a big hit of juniper both on the nose and the palate but underneath the initial juniper burst you get liquorice from the angelica and spicy cinnamon. Citrus notes from the lemon, orange and elderflower round this off followed by a final spicy kick from the cardamom. The mouth feel is smooth and slightly oily thanks to the gorse and vanilla elements.

The Botanicals

Juniper, coriander, angelica, cassia, cardamom, orange peel, lemon peel, elderflower, vanilla and gorse flower.
