Description

Chase Pink Grapefruit and Pomelo Gin is the new name for the the Williams Pink Grapefruit Gin

Chase Pink Grapefruit and Pomelo Gin  is a Great British Gin made in Herefordshire at the Chase Distillery. It was made an permanent fixture on their gin list in 2016 and joins stablemates GB Extra Dry and Elegant 48 and their other flavoured gins: the Sloe, Sloe and Mulberry and Seville Orange.

At time of writing, Chase Distillery are the only distillery in the UK that actually make their gins from a vodka base that they produce themselves (most will use a neutral grain spirit that is bought in). As the the label states, their gins are produced “from field to bottle”.

The base for Chase Pink Grapefruit and Pomelo Gin is essentially their GB Extra Dry gin (botanicals include juniper, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, almond, coriander, cardamon, cloves, liquorice and lemon) which is made from a potato vodka base, which has copious amounts of Pink Grapefruit and Pomelo added as botanicals. This is distilled, then post distillation there is also a period of maceration of the gin on more pink grapefruit peel which helps add more, intense citrus-y flavours and aromas. This also lends the gin the faintest, delicate pink colouration. Superb grapefruit-y stuff, perfect in a G’n’T garnished with a slice of pink grapefruit.
