Slake Gin at The Tap House

At the Tap House we pride ourselves on the variety of drinks to suit all tastes. Handpicked by our team, we select as many local varieties of ales, beer and wine, and now we are even able to add local Slake Gin!

Distilled in Shoreham by Sea, West Sussex, a stone’s throw from our door, Slake offers a delicious Sussex dry gin, based on the British classic London gin style. Described as a juniper and citrus forward, but without a citrus fruit in sight! This bold gin is delightfully paired with Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water, and simply garnished with a lemon slice.

Slake is also special due to the incredible effort they put into sourcing ingredients using traditional foraging methods for many of their recipes. The team describe combing the countryside looking for aromatic edibles to forage and return to their distillery where they dry the botanicals they have sourced and incorporate them into delicately-balanced ‘terroir’ recipes good enough to be sipped neat, like Slake’s original Hedgerow Gin. Once the spirits have been created, the Slake family assembles each bottle by hand, including sealing each bottle with wax.

We are also pleased to announce a special Gin tasting and talk at the Tap House hosted by Slake, which will take place in November, just in time for the release of their 2018 Hedgerow Gin vintage. More details to be announced via our social media channels.
