CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BLOOM GIN

Where It All Started

More than a decade ago, BLOOM Gin's master distiller Joanne Moore was fed up with people telling her they didn’t like gin, so she decided to make one even the most ardent sceptic would like. Working with only natural ingredients, Joanne created the brand’s deliciously light London Dry gin – with soft nuances of chamomile, honeysuckle and pomelo – in turn, offering a fresh twist on an old classic. From there, the range has expanded and all of the gins are sugar-free – there's a vast selection of flavoured, fruity and floral gins, including Raspberry & Rose and Passionfruit & Vanilla Blossom.

The Brand's Ethos

Combining style with substance, the powers that be believed that BLOOM should be as natural as possible. Not only are all the bottles stunning to look at, but the brand also uses only the finest natural botanicals and flavourings for its gins. It’s also run by an all-female team, each bringing something different to the table, but all determined and united to make delicious gins that can be enjoyed at every type of celebration.

London Dry Gin

BEST FOR: CLASSICISTS

First launched in 2009, consider this the brand’s signature bottle, which perfectly encompasses Joanne Moore’s vision to create a lighter tasting gin for everyone to enjoy. Combining the finest natural botanicals, it’s now a firm favourite among the new generation of gin lovers. Carefully crafted using chamomile, honeysuckle and pomelo as the three key botanicals, think of it a sophisticated gin renowned for its pure-tasting flavour and iconic bottle. It’s so good in fact, in 2019, it won the Global Traveller Retail Spirits Masters Silver Medal and Independent Spirit Challenge Silver Medal. Serving suggestions include plenty of ice and fresh strawberries for garnish.

Raspberry & Rose Gin

BEST FOR: FLORAL LOVERS

Pink gin might be all the rage, but this is done differently. Made with sweet, rich flavours of raspberry balanced with the delicate bitterness of rose, it’s wonderfully fruity, while still being light on the palate. The distinctive notes of soft brambled raspberry is followed by floral rose tones with a hint of citrus and juniper in the background. Top this up with lemonade and add a handful of fresh raspberries to garnish for a refreshing, fruity tipple that instantly transports you to a beautiful English garden.
