A GIN producer celebrating its first year will now be available in a nationwide chain of bars.
Slingsby Gin, produced in Harrogate, was launched in September 2015 and its London Dry Gin will now be available in The Botanist bars nationwide, including in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds.
The listing comes as the Spirit of Harrogate Ltd, makers of the small batch produced gin, have achieved a number of milestones to mark Slingsby's first birthday, including the release of a Navy Strength variant, a number of award wins and the recruitment of two new mixologists.
Within its first year Slingsby has sold more than 16,000 bottles, won a double gold medal at the New York Wine & Spirits Competition, and two gold medals at The Spirits Business Gin Masters, and has been selected as one of just three gins at Michelin-starred restaurant, L’Enclume, and has been Harrods’ fastest selling gin since its listing last Christmas.
Inspired by William Slingsby who discovered the unique and restorative properties of the Tewit Well in Harrogate, half of Slingsby’s 24 botanicals have been grown in Harrogate’s Rudding Park Hotel Kitchen garden.
