We wanted to grow our family and so have produced a 38% fruity Gin. We have taken our Recipe No.1 and blushed it with Elderflower, Raspberry, Strawberry and a little bit of blackberry to produce not a pink Gin but a full blooded Red Gin, try this little beauty with an Elderflower or even a pomegranate and basil tonic and garnish with simple fresh Raspberry We hope you enjoy our Gin with the same level of pleasure that we have making it!

This Gin was also awarded two stars from the Guild of Fine Foods 2019 Great taste Awards.

About the Distiller

Lloyd was a mechanical engineer before he became a gin-maker. He spent his life managing commercial heating systems and North Sea oil pipelines. Aged 40, he fancied moving into renewable energy, and went back to university to get a Masters Degree in Science.

Then one night he went to a New Year’s Eve party in a remote Herefordshire pub…

As 2011 became 2012 he met the then-new landlord, Glyn Bufton. They struck up a friendship. And eventually Lloyd moved to Herefordshire, with his wife and two children, and went into business with Glyn.

Lloyd designed and made the two small stills at Black Mountains Botanicals, and named them after his favourite mountains: Twmpa and Blorenge. Building the distillery was just like building an oil rig, only a touch easier.

He also runs a smallholding, with sheep, pigs, hens and bees, which is not easy to do on an oil rig.
