This is what happens when a chef and distiller start talking. The Craft & Co prides itself on being a collaborative distillery and when the chef was baking some apple pies one day in the kitchen onsite, they sparked up a conversation about how they could work together to create a unique culinary series of gins. The result? Apple Pie Gin – A mouthful of fresh baked apple pie, shortbread, subtle aromatic spices of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, finishing with a clean juniper backbone. Enjoy this gin neat or with your choice of soda or imagine the possibilities of how this could be used in cakes, ice-cream, sauces or even as a glaze on roast pork or candied bacon.
