Cotswolds Dry Gin: A delectable blend of nine carefully-considered botanicals, including lavender from the Cotswolds, freshly-peeled pink grapefruit and lime zest. The Head Distiller uses over ten times the average amount of botanicals used by most premium gins and, because the gin is non-chill filtered, the oils are retained in the gin which causes a pearlescent cloud to appear when ice or tonic is added, creating the unique Cotswolds Cloudy G&T.
RRP: £34.95 for 3L (46% ABV). Available from: cotswoldsdistillery.com, Waitrose, Majestic, Oddbins, Laithwaites, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason

Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin encapsulates the rich heritage of the Indian City of Jaisalmer, with a recipe that combines the ancient knowledge of herbs and spices, vibrant juniper berries and hand-picked botanicals.
The use of botanicals is a time-honoured tradition in India. Jaisalmer has 11 botanicals, seven of which are sourced from the four corners of India.
RRP: £34.95 for 70cl (ABV 43%). Available from: Amazon and The Whisky Exchange
