Nethergate - Ruddy Duck Strawberry & Watermint Gin

The Quintessence of Suffolk's Summer

Within the scenic bounds of Suffolk, at our distinguished distillery in Long Melford, the Ruddy Duck Strawberry & Watermint Gin is meticulously crafted, embodying the spirit of innovation that Nethergate Brewery has embraced since venturing into the world of spirits. Inspired by the overwhelming success of our first gin, Melford’s Gin, and the burgeoning demand for flavored pink gins, we've introduced this exceptional flavor to our premium Ruddy Duck range.

Our distillery, rooted in the historic and lush landscapes of Suffolk, is where tradition meets modernity. Since our expansion into spirits, marked notably by the acquisition of our unique stills, Bonnie & Clyde, we've been dedicated to capturing the essence of Suffolk's natural bounty. The Ruddy Duck Strawberry & Watermint Gin is a celebration of this commitment, blending fresh, locally sourced strawberries with hand-picked wild water mint from the picturesque banks of the river Stour.

The nose of this artisan pink gin is a vibrant symphony of local Suffolk strawberries and juniper, creating a captivating fresh and fruity aroma. The palate is a delicate balance of soft, fruit-forward strawberry flavors, seamlessly complemented by classic juniper notes and a subtle, refreshing hint of mint. The finish is crisp and cool, leaving a light, minty freshness that lingers, inviting you to take another sip.

Best enjoyed with Indian tonic, ice, sliced strawberries, and a fresh sprig of mint, this gin is also perfect as a sophisticated addition to a glass of bubbly. It is a testament to our dedication to using local ingredients, inspired by the beauty and richness of our surroundings, and our commitment to creating uniquely delightful spirits.
