Craftsmanship and Ingredients
The foundation of Slingsby Rhubarb Gin is their award-winning London Dry Gin, which incorporates a blend of locally sourced botanicals, including primrose, sweet cicely, nettle, milk thistle, and rosehip. These are complemented by green and jasmine teas from Taylors of Harrogate. The gin is then infused with rhubarb sourced from the renowned ‘Rhubarb Triangle’ in Yorkshire, resulting in a vibrant pink hue and a unique flavour profile. (Good Food)
