Nelson’s Valentine’s Gin is bottled at 41% abv, and alongside traditional botanicals such as juniper has been distilled with rose petals and raspberries.

Just 500 bottles of the new gin have been created, each priced at £40 (US$52) per 70cl.

Master distiller Neil Harrison described the gin as “a beautiful blend of floral notes from the rose and fruity, sweet aroma from the raspberry – but not too sweet”.

The gin is now available to purchase through the distillery’s online store, both on its own and in a number of gift package options, which include branded glassware.

Nelson’s Gin range also includes a London dry, navy strength and rhubarb and custard-flavored gin. Last year, the Staffordshire-based brand launched the “first gin of its kind” to use Timur pepper from Nepal as a key botanical.

About Nelson’s Gin

Nelson’s Gin has been created by one man; Neil Harrison. In a world in which craft gins proliferate, Neil was certain that he had both the vision and the palate to create a gin that was exceptional.

Having worked extensively as a chef, Neil knew that a pleasing and memorable tasting experience depends on the combination of many factors; from an inspired balance of flavours through to presentation, context and the all-too-elusive creation of ambiance; the vital ingredient which owes more to alchemy than any kind of practicality.

Nelson’s Gin is made in small batches, to be enjoyed by those who appreciate its life-affirming qualities. It is the only gin made on the Derbyshire and Staffordshire borders, its manufacture being a sophisticated 21st-century version of a ‘cottage industry’.

Nelson’s Gin is made in a futuristic distillery on a self-contained site. Here, we employ clean energy combined with advanced technology to support the natural processes which result in a very special gin.
