You may well have seen Hastings 1066 Gin around town since it was launched during the Fat Tuesday music festival earlier this year, and the creator, Julian Haswell, tells me he calls this the "younger brother" of his award winning Haswell London Distilled Dry Gin (website). Julian has over 35 years experience in the industry, and will soon be distilling the Hastings 1066 Gin in an about to be installed Arnold Holstein Pot-still in Hastings, so very local and coming to us...
Having tasted this, very easy to drink and very tasty, Hastings 1066 Gin myself, I am looking forward to drinking much more of it. The botanicals used to flavour the gin include coriander seeds from Morocco, European juniper berries and angelica root, lemon peel from Spain, orange peel from Spain, Morocco and Haiti, liquorice root from Eastern Europe and China, gooseberry, and much more...
I recommend you look out for this around town, cheers!
