Nelson’s Gin launches Valentine’s day bottling

Staffordshire-based gin brand Nelson’s has created a limited edition Valentine’s Day gin, which adds rose and raspberry to its key botanicals.

Nelson’s Valentine’s Gin uses rose and raspberry as key botanicals

Nelson’s Valentine’s Gin is bottled at 41% abv, and alongside traditional botanicals such as juniper has been distilled with rose petals and raspberries.

Just 500 bottles of the new gin have been created, each priced at £40 (US$52) per 70cl.

Master distiller Neil Harrison described the gin as “a beautiful blend of floral notes from the rose and fruity, sweet aroma from the raspberry – but not too sweet”.

The gin is now available to purchase through the distillery’s online store, both on its own and in a number of gift package options, which include branded glassware.

Nelson’s Gin range also includes a London dry, navy strength and rhubarb and custard-flavoured gin. Last year, the Staffordshire-based brand launched the “first gin of its kind” to use timur pepper from Nepal as a key botanical.
