Our Story
A love story in the making..
"There's a magic to this place; woven into the fabric of the land and evoked through tales of old. It entices you to step out of your day to day and immerse yourself in special moments with those you love."
​
Our story begins with a place; a place that gave me such a strong sense of belonging and a feeling of being at ease that it immediately felt like I was stepping into a love story.
I fell in love with this place, Corfe Castle. Warm and inviting, poetic and beautiful, with stunning scenery, old Purbeck cottages, a lively community and of course the magnificent Corfe Castle still
standing proud atop the hill; this place has captured my heart.
With my new gin business I wanted to capture the spirit of this place, the spirit of Corfe Castle.
​
I allowed myself to get lost in old tales, myths, legends and historical research; I wanted to find a story that would capture my imagination and provide a way for me to connect with people in a more meaningful way.
When I discovered the Gloriette I was enthralled. The idea of this secluded space within a castle, that was reserved for the most special of visitors to enjoy wonderful times together, resonated with me. I felt it was something that, whilst we don't all live in a castle, is a universal need that we all share; to be able step away from our day to day and enjoy special times with those we love.
​
The challenge then was to make a gin that could stand up to the majesty of the Gloriette! For its time, the Gloriette would have been a sumptuous, luxurious space and I wanted the gin to reflect that. The taste experience needed to be enticing, to captivate your attention and allow you to feel immersed, much like the Gloriette would have done.
​
Gloriette Gin is crafted using an intricate blend of 45 botanicals, vacuum distilled to retain the purest flavours and rested in oak barrels to soften the texture and add an extra dimension to the flavour.
The result is a beautifully complex and layered taste experience. It is a gin that, while based on classic gin flavours, brings a level of depth, complexity and in-mouth experience that is simply beautiful and I hope, helps you to become immersed in special moments with the people you love.
​
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
