Masons of Yorkshire is returning to its roots with the launch of a new Distiller’s Strength special edition bottled at 53 per cent ABV.
Based on the multi-award winning distillery’s The Original recipe, Distiller’s Strength is distilled to a higher strength with an increased botanical blend for smoothness.
“Masons was founded with a simple mission to create gin the way it should be, with more character, more flavour and uncompromising quality,” explains Karl Mason, who established the distillery with wife Cathy on the outskirts of the Yorkshire Dales. “Our new Distiller’s Strength showcases an intense blend of expertly chosen botanicals and natural ingredients, with no gimmicks, no shortcuts and no compromises.
“This special edition is a credit to the craftmanship and expertise of the Masons team and we’re continually experimenting in our new state-of-the-art gin lab to develop unique flavours to excite Masons fans and gin drinkers.
“This is the latest example of that commitment to innovation and experimentation, and there’s much more to come - so watch this space.”
Karl says that for a serious G&T, serve with plenty of ice, premium Indian tonic water and garnish with a twist of fresh orange zest. Or, dial things up with pink grapefruit zest and crushed black pepper.
Produced to exceptional London Dry standards, Masons Gin is made without compromise or shortcuts to create a curated collection of exceptional gins which also include recent addition Orange & Lime Leaf, as well as popular Pear and Pink Peppercorn alongside its best-selling Masons Original and iconic Masons Tea Edition.
Masons Distiller’s Strength (70cl, RPP £37.50) is available now from www.masonsofyorkshire.com
