Award winning Dampney’s Damson Gin is made using a blend of naturally ripened fruit from Wiltshire and Herefordshire. The fruit is steeped using the family recipe for 6 months or more to draw out the intricate flavours of the delicious but tart damsons. Hand pressed and filtered it produces a liqueur that is smooth but with enough bite to combat a chilly day.
 
With depth and body this liqueur is a star of the range. A real warmer to take the edge off a chilly day, alternatively mix with champagne to create a Dampney's Drink to savour.
 
What the Great Taste judges said:
 
"We adored the rich ruby claret colour of this fruit liqueur, which had a good clarity. The aroma was earthy and typical of tart sloe berry. The flavour was instantly sweet, juicy with damsons, warming and then dry. It's smooth on the palate, with the alcohol well integrated. When we diluted it with ice we could pick up more of a citrus note from the gin, and overall thought it a well-balanced fruit liqueur, not too sweet or tart...
 
The damsons sing on the nose and smell so natural and have such depth: plummy, fruity, Christmas pudding aromas blended with almonds and blood peaches. The sweetness and bitterness are perfectly balanced.
 
This is a very delicious, clean, fruity liqueur. A glorious plum-red tone and bright clarity in the glass. The nose is immediately redolent of damson, and the palate amplifies this, with sugar and acidity in perfect balance. We love the marzipan notes on the finish. Eminently sippable, delightful. and clearly painstakingly made."
