#ToDieFor

THE TALE BEHIND THE TASTE

Allow us to introduce Mandrake; Nosferatu’s mischievous younger brother.

 

Step into the forest, if you dare, but beware of what waits under foot.

 

The mandrake root, or 'Mandragora Officiarum', is a thing of danger
and mischief.

As folklore would have it, the mandrake root screams when pulled from the ground, killing anyone unfortunate enough to hear its cries. When ingested, it is said to excite delirium and madness. But, hey, who believes in folklore?

 

The mandrake tale takes its cues from folklore and cinema. Harry Potter fans will be familiar with the repotting of the Mandrake seedlings scene in the Chamber of Secrets. The cries are not yet fatal, but capable of ‘knocking you out for a few hours’.

 

Taking inspiration from this tale, steeped in mystery and legend, our small batch Mandrake Cucumber & Mint Gin melds Albanian juniper with cucumber, mint, coriander seed and liquorice root. We have taken all the bad stuff out and left the good stuff in.

 

Born of the forest and distilled with a unique blend of botanicals, our Mandrake & Mint Gin is a refreshing addition to our family of gins truly is #ToDieFor. Try if you dare!
