Lancaster Spirits Company website link £38

• THE NAME SAYS IT ALL - Our Gin is a different kind with masses of robust flavours, which is why we call it Firecracker
• FLAVOURS - Stormy is the word we would go for. We source seventeen different botanicals to distil and macerate our Gin. Firecracker has a fragrant pine, earthy forest, subtle hints of berry, and woody notes, making the experience balanced and exciting
• GREAT FOR CREATING COCKTAILS - Fill a cup glass with ice, pour 50ml of Firecracker Gin, 100ml tonic water, chilled and freshly opened, stir gently and garnish with a slice of lemon
• WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT? We are on an uncompromising quest to create the finest spirits possible, and to achieve this, we handcraft our gins from premium grains, using our 200-year-old yeast, and sourcing botanicals. The only way to fully command quality is to distil from grain to glass
• OUR STORY - We are passionate spirit creators. We have worked tirelessly and tested to produce perfect, unique, and complex spirits. Our base spirit is hand-made here in Lancaster using premium-grade grains for Gin. Each bottle is labelled by hand; that is how we create that bold and boisterous firecracker gin for you

The Lancaster Spirits Company Firecracker Gin 70cl is the culmination of years of work to create an adventurous and powerful gin with an abundance of vivacious flavours set on a bedrock of smooth grain base spirit. With water supplied from our ancient Bowland aquifer, distilled from a secret wheat and rye beer using all copper still and columns, blending seventeen hand selected botanicals and then carefully conditioned over a five-week period - this is true artisan gin, one of the very few that is uniquely grain to glass. This arduous process is exceptionally eco-friendly with the water supplied by our artesian well, electrical power from our bank of solar panels and the ethanol produced from our very own beers.

Released in late 2022 and already the winner of two highly respected awards, one judge described it as "...an extra special gin that takes on a new journey...fantastic provenance with phenomenal flavours that scream for attention."

To release the rainbow of flavours, we recommend mixing Firecracker with a traditional Indian tonic, a slice of orange and ribbon of cucumber.

A reputed 95% of all micro distilleries start the gin making process with "bought in" ethanol but The Lancaster Spirits Company is proudly part of the rebellious 5% who craft their spirits from grain to glass, everything under one roof.
