Awards for Silent Pool Rare Citrus

The citrus is evident though – bitter orange and zesty grapefruit appear throughout, lifted by those sherbet notes and grounded by the woody, musky peppers. Silent Pool Gin is produced at their distillery based in the Surrey Hills, located on the Albury Estate. The ‘Silent Pool’ is an actual spring-fed lake at the foot of the North Downs, near Guildford in Surrey, and the gin bases its beautiful bottle colouring from the colour of the lake.

These give depth and mouthfeel, the rich and heavier flavours.
