Yorkshire gin

Summer is coming and what better way to celebrate the better weather than with a nice cool Yorkshire tipple? Now a nation of Gin drinkers, we love the stuff and cannot get enough of it. Long gone are the days of mothers ruin. Gin bars are popping up all over the place and I am not sure I know a person who now doesn't love a good G&T. In Yorkshire we are a tiny bit proud of our roots arnt we? I say a bit .... "We are from YORKSHIRE mighty, mighty Yorkshire!"

At South Yorkshire Mobility we also believe strongly in supporting local. Local produce,local companies and local people and communities. So with that in mind we have a lovely list of gins from (in our opinion the best County in the Country ;) and a just for fun game with the delicious tipples we have listed.

One for my Step daughter, who has never believed Robin hood originally came from Sheffield!

Sir Robin of Locksley® Made in Mighty, mighty Sheffield!!

Distilled Artisan Gin

It is named in honour of a favourite Yorkshire lad and local Sheffield legend, Robin Hood. (If I had a tag button I would so tag her right now!)

Taken direct from the website as although I love gin, I am not an expert so here is what the experts have to say about this fabulously good looking gin.

"Up-front juniper with more delicate aromas of elderflower bubbling through. Deliciously smooth and round on the palate – warm cassia notes soothed with dandelion. Pink grapefruit adds an underlying sweetness and lingering citrus finish. Balanced yet distinctively unique."

Inspired by the Barnsley chop! Gi orrrrrr!

This alone makes me want to try this gin, seriously there's nowt much better than a Barnsley chop or a good G&T.

"Hooting Owl South Yorkshire Gin is a traditional London Dry Gin containing 18 botanicals which include:

Juniper, Coriander Seeds, Bitter Orange Peel, Grapefruit Peel, Kafir Lime Leaves, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Liquorice, Grains of Paradise, Dandelion Root, Rosemary and Mint amongst others.

Inspired by the Barnsley Chop, these botanicals and the lovingly accurate way in which we distil our gins makes for a very smooth flavour packed "Herby" gin."



Hendersons Relish in Gin? Gin not thrown on Pie? Go on then !

Brought to us by True North Brew Co, who have earned major bragging rights by distilling Sheffield Dry Gin. The first gin to be made in sheffield in 100 years! Each bottle contains a little Sheffield goodness - Taken straight from the horses mouth's!

A small batch gin distilled in a handmade copper still imported from Portugal. Alongside traditional gin botanicals we use an unusual selection of fennel, cardamom and gentian root that lend the gin its dry, herbaceous character. For balance, a small amount of grapefruit and lemon peel is added. Finally, a touch of Sheffield Honey and a dash of Henderson’s Relish are included, bringing more complexity to this unique spirit.

Waterton's Dandelion & Burdock Gin. One of the first drinks of "pop" I ever tried after "council pop" Back in the day, and a Gin I am really looking forward to trying.

Inspired by the botanicals of the riverside ramblings and woodland walks of Northern Britain, a 13th Century medicinal recipe and Yorkshire famous chip-shop pop.
