In stock
Passion Gin has both strength and complexity. Distilled with fifteen botanicals, including Passion Fruit, Grapefruit, Lime Flower and Elderflower, Passion Gin delivers a taste sensation to intrigue and excite the palate.
Black Shuck is one of the oldest English Legends about a huge ghostly spirit dog with a black shaggy coat and flaming red eyes, which is said to roam the East Anglian countryside and beyond. The legend dates back hundreds if not thousands of years. No one knows for sure where Black Shuck came from but there are plenty of theories and as the years have passed, like all legends, the stories have become more and more elaborate. Hence there are now probably as many variations on the legend as there are varieties of Gin.
During the 18th and 19th century many Black Shuck tales were told, embellished andretold by smugglers. They used stories of the legendary omen of luck to terrorise superstitious fishermen into staying at home when they wanted to smuggle their cargo ashore.
