MOATWOOD Gin, a Suffolk-born premium gin launched in 2024.
With an unwavering commitment to exceptional quality and
environmental sustainability, MOATWOOD is the perfect choice
for establishments that celebrate true craftsmanship and giving
back to the planet.
Classic London Dry using 8 hand-selected botanicals
Dual-Extraction Distillation: A meticulous process combining
maceration and vapour distillation tailored to each botanical,
ensuring unmatched depth, clarity, and smoothness.
For the more robust botanicals, including piney-juniper, ginger
for a touch of spice, aloe, orris root & coriander seed, a 24-hour
maceration process at 70% ABV is used to extract depth and
complexity.
For MOATWOOD’s lighter notes of starflower, elderflower and
sweet orange, we use a vapour extraction method. These delicate
botanicals are placed in a vapour basket during distillation,
capturing their fresh, vibrant flavours.
This unique combination of maceration and vapour extraction,
tailored to each botanical, delivers a gin with exceptional clarity
and character, whilst ensuring we are the smoothest gin on the
market.
