Discover our signature botanical, Sussex hop, an award-winning hop that gives a unique character to our fabulous gin.
Sussex Hop was found growing WILD in local hedgerows in EAST SUSSEX
Sussex hop variety discovered by Peter Cyster in local East Sussex hedgerows in 2005. Mayfield Gin Master Maker & Blender, J. Arthur Rackham, came across Sussex hop when researching local botanicals for his gin recipe in Mayfield and discovered it added a unique citrus character to the gin.
Sussex Hop is now grown by a fifth generation, award-winning hop farmer based in East Sussex. The hop plants have to be given climbing vines to grow up, throughout history, farmers have developed different methods of supporting vines.
The HOPS are harvested every year in September ready for the next BATCH of GIN
