Exeter's own premium handcrafted gin produced in small batches in a traditional copper still, recently launched at the beginning of august receiving fantastic reviews and great success.

This robust yet smooth gin celebrates Exeter's Roman heritage and occupation between circa AD55 and AD380, "ISCA Dumnoniorum' describing flowing water in reference to the River Exe. Using ancient botanicals favored by the Romans such as tarragon basil, cardamom & marigold combined with 11 other botanicals. The result is an outstanding gin experience.

Exeter Gin has a 44% abv and comes in a bottle designed to depict the Roman era.  A lot of consideration went into the design, by a talented local graphic designer, to ensure it sympathetically reflected the heart of Exeter’s (ISCA) Roman’s influence.

This new gin is the brainchild of Karen Skerratt also the director of Granny Garbutt’s (Pop Up) Gin Palace who listened to the customers that were asking for their own Exeter Gin, which was an invaluable source of research.  “We listened, we delivered”
