Tom: Right. We’re there at the process of what are we going to call it? How do we name it? And there was nothing. I’m a big fan of things happen for reason. I am at my Auntie Caroline’s house having lunch and she brings out a flask of his from the wall, right. One of the walls. It’s got a recipe on it and It’s got sloes in it and one thing and another. I’m like, wow, I kind of suddenly been making this and he had a Reverend Hubert had this and then, then there’s this connection between me and Hubert. Tom: Yeah. Then I got introduced to Joe and some people know Joe, so Joe has got the most amazing brain when it comes to processes and his palate is recognized as one of the best in the world. Joe is a guy who, when you meet him, you don’t forget him. He has got a ridiculous palate and a ridiculous knowledge of anything to do with alcohol or wine. It’s got it all,” he says, ‘the liqueur, the perfume, the fragrance, the winter spice, ginger, mace green cardamon – it tastes like a Christmas cake. Not too sweet and with the right balance.” The legendary Alessandro Palazzi at Duke’s Hotel in London has become a big supporter of the brand Because the Amalfi, the lemons, the orange. We found the oranges growing in an orchard behind the lemons down on the Amalfi, so we just felt like that would save on carbon footprint. We got all of them together. Then it came together to taste and it looked incredibly different in polished and shiny. It was an amazing moment when we produced our first batch.
TASTING NOTES: Our gold award-winning Winter Gin Liqueur is distinctive, original, balanced, & smooth. Bursting with aromatic notes of dried fruit, winter spices from Sri Lanka and the freshest orange & lemon zest from the Amalfi coast. Tom: I suddenly thought this is absolutely remarkable. When that kind of stuff came together, there was no question that my ambition to make this happen became more and I was super keen to get Hubert out there, Hubert Bell, which I think is quite a cool name and to see what happened. I think guys can work it out on their own. I had a conversation with someone recently who spoke about you must have a signature serve for the Rev and yes, we’ve got a few signature serves, but I’m not going to say to anyone do this or do that, have fun with it. That’s the point of having it be a bartender, enjoy, have a laugh.It was that that gave it the freshness and the boost. Then you had a bit of gloopiness afterwards, but what I mean, I think, when I looked at some that was left over a year later, the sediment was halfway up of the bottle. So, it wasn’t an attractive looking thing. Label within a label The label and design looks to reflect the mixed personality of Reverend Hubert Susan: Were you like, oh my God, I can’t believe that a relative of mine was making a spirit and I’m making the same spirit practically?
Susan: So, you got the label, you got the bottle, it’s a great looking bottle and you’re making it, by the way. Where do you make it? The other stand out feature about Reverend Hubert is its distinctive label. One that immediately looks familiar and somehow iconic, even though it’s the first time you have seen it.Lester says he first came across the Reverend’s winter gin liqueur when he was given an old “smashed up WW1 hipflask with a barely legible label” by his aunt for his eighteenth birthday that happened to contain his winter liqueur and “a recipe of sorts”. “Here began the lesson,” says Lester. Susan: All right. So, you got it in the Cotswolds. You have it in the bottle. What do you do next? Obviously, you laugh. I’ve seen all these pictures of him at a lot of parties. They’re either photos in the church of, you can imagine a Christmas Eve gathering a few carols and then a few drinks, all that situated on a tennis court because he was a big tennis fan. He insisted on a grass court naturally next to the Vicarage. When I look at all the pics, whenever I see him, he’s smiling. He’s happy. He’s jolly. He’s clearly enjoying his life and the label, right?
