SPECIAL EDITION GINS
Our limited special edition small batch gins are born of collaboration, the desire to create something unique or seasonal, or merely to indulge ourselves. Often deviating from our core botanicals and processes, these gins are available for a few fleeting months each year, especially our PUD PUD Christmas gin.
To ensure you get your hands on the best artisan gins in Hertfordshire, you’d be wise to sign up to our newsletter for release dates and have our gin delivered direct to your front door.
Honey Gin
The George Street Canteen in St Albans has the most amazing view overlooking St Albans Cathedral. Kevin and the team have put great effort into cultivating a warming and inviting space with alfresco dining perfect for brunches, afternoon tea and evening get togethers. At the bottom of the canteen garden are the beehives and it's the honey from these hives that is distilled with elderflower, chamomile, rosehip, juniper, orris root, lime peel, angelica and coriander seed. Herbaceous floral characteristics with a silky smooth mouth feel.
Our honey gin is distilled as a London Dry style and makes a tasty G&T with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic and a sprig of fresh rosemary or lime slice.
Box Moor Gin
Returns Spring 2025
TOP 10 GIN 2023 as compiled by gin judge, consultant, blogger and gin writer Gin A Ding Ding (Sarah Miller)!
1594 Gin reincarnated as this new special edition gin – Box Moor Gin. Distilled to a London Dry style gin Box Moor Gin uses rare juniper grown on The Box Moor Trust's estate in Hemel Hempstead. We also use fresh lime as one of the five botanicals as a nod to Boxmoor Wharf which was once home to Rose's Lime Juice.
Available with either a burnt orange or brown label the bottle design is inspired by the Belted Galloway cows often seen grazing on The Box Moor Trust land near Boxmoor village. We also reference the gravestone of highwayman James 'Robert' Snooks who in 1801 robbed a postboy travelling from Tring to Hemel Hempstead and was the last person in the UK to be executed for the crime!
£2 from every bottle sold goes to The Box Moor Trust.
Serve as a G&T with Indian tonic and a lime slice or try these tasty cocktails made with Box Moor Gin.
Pud Pud Cherry Gin
Returns November 2025
Our winter seasonal Christmas gins are released each year to coincide with our distillery launch anniversary (11 November 2016).
During the summer of 2019 we met Vikki from Horwood Cherries – a family run, independent cherry orchard in north Buckinghamshire, just 20 miles from the distillery and we decided to launch a new PUD PUD Gin to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. Since then we receive a fresh delivery of cherries each July to start making PUD PUD Cherry Gin ready for Christmas.
Horwood Cherries grow many varieties but for our PUD PUD Cherry Gin we use the lapin variety – a dark sweet cherry just perfect for infusing into our gin which is distilled using ingredients from our favourite Hertforshire-made Christmas puddings and Macedonian juniper. When the time is right, and only Ben the distiller decides this, do we squeeze the cherries and triple filter the gin ready for bottling.
Soft juniper, spice and cherry notes without any additional sugar. Our preferred serve is neat over ice but for a G&T we favour Indian tonic water or Fever-Tree Aromatic Tonic. You can find more PUD PUD Cherry Gin serving suggestions on our cocktails page.
2023 saw the launch of PUD PUD Cherry Gin in it’s beautiful new bigger bottle. The cherry gin is visible through the chevron pattern printed on the bottle. We carefully fill each bottle individually and they’re labelled by hand with a copper, gold and black foiled cherrywood veneer label. 70cl, 38% ABV.
Gluten free and vegan friendly. We use fresh fruit so a small amount of sediment may appear in the bottle. This is just cherry goodness!
Favourite serves
Generally we prefer our limited edition and seasonal gins to work best as simple serves so you get the full flavour of the spirit. However Box Moor Gin makes an awesome Orange Sour so we just had to include it here. Plus PUD PUD Cherry Christmas Gin is too tasty to not experiment with and find new ways to enjoy it.
The White Herts is our version of a White Russian cocktail – PUD PUD Cherry Gin and Kahlua are stirred over ice with a cream float. Black Forest is like tucking into a slice of Black Forest Gateau, decadent and fruity with an alcohol warmth.
