How do you like your gin, ma’am? Distilled right here in Sussex, Great Taste award-winning and featured in the likes of Vogue? Mmmm, us too, so let us introduce you to Generation 11 from Lewes-based Generation Distillers.

This Sussex Dry Gin is a classic London Dry, with bold juniper and fresh citrus complimented by zesty coriander, warm cardamom and spicy pepper. A subtle lavender (locally grown, natch) adds length and floral notes that cut through the spices to give a lightness on the palate. Hey, it’s a veritable botanical bouquet, over ice, in a classic G&T or mixed into a cocktail.

Or perhaps you’d prefer an orange and cardamom blend, zesty and herbal with well-balanced spice notes. For a fruiter number, reach for the Generation 11 Grapefruit Sussex Dry Gin, perfect in a lively G&T. And if you’re a fan of the higher ABV, the Generation 11 Ovenproof Sussex Dry is a superb, uncompromising, bold and smooth blend, full of juniper, citrus and spice.

Run by a husband and wife team from their home, Generation Distillers sources ingredients locally and draws water in small batches from an artisan well – every single drop is used in this handcrafted gin. Even the bottling and labelling is done by hand.

Drink it, gift one of the cocktail kits or splash out on one yourself too – Generation 11 is stocked around Sussex and even better, local delivery is free.
