We’re off to London Borough Market with our range of handcrafted Irish gins!

Symphonia is a range of handcrafted Irish gins celebrating produce grown in the Irish countryside. So when the opportunity arose to bring the flavours of our countryside to London’s oldest food market, we welcomed the opportunity with open arms

NORTHERN Ireland is full of flavours and no more so than from the land surrounding our own distillery.

The Woodlab Distillery, where we produce our range of handcrafted Irish gins, is near Benburb in Co Tyrone where the land is rich and bears beautiful local botanicals.

Our story is one of innovation and a sense of place and our range of spirits connect people with our land.

Since we launched our Irish gins at Junipalooza in London in June 2018, Symphonia has been standing out from the crowd in terms of how it’s made and its distinctive flavour notes.

We will be attending a host of events throughout the year, but, to start our 2019 calendar of events we will be showcasing Symphonia Dry Gin, Apple Gin & Fruit Cup at London Borough Market this week as part of the ‘Taste The Greatness of Northern Ireland’.

Dr Ulrich Dyer, who is the scientist and mastermind behind our range of spirits, will attend the world renowned market which will be a riot of smells, colours, storytelling and engagement.

We do love telling our story as people love listening to Ulrich describing our unique process including cold distillation to preserve flavours which are lost during traditional distillation. 

On sale in the Market Hall will be Symphonia Dry Gin – a sophisticated Dry Gin of exquisite complexity. This spirit is a beautiful harmony of flavours including rose, basil, dandelion and flowers.

The crisp Apple Gin, which is Symphonia Apple Gin, is made using Co Armagh Bramley Apples. It was highlighted in The Guardian  as a standout gin to enjoy during St Patrick’s day festivities. The review described it as ‘absolutely outstanding’ and ‘utterly delicious’ so this is a great opportunity for market goers to sample this unique gin.

And the Fruit Cup, will also be sold at the market. This is a delicious summer fruit spirit drink inspired by the raspberries and strawberries grown in the garden at The Woodlab Distillery.

This is our first time attending London Borough Market so it will be such a fantastic opportunity for people to sample what we produce.

Ulrich will also be recommending which tonics to pair with our spirits.

So, if you’re in London, come along and taste our Dry Gin, Apple Gin and Fruit Cup. There’ll be cookery demonstrations, traditional Irish dancing and lots of storytelling.
