| Notes: | To celebrate the re-opening of the Temperate House and the skill of the botanists at Kew Gardens, The London Distillery Company have created this beautiful Citrus led gin. Once the world's largest glasshouse, the Temperate House was at the forefront of h, orticultural taste in Victorian Britain. Scented-leaf pelargoniums (Geranium) are tender plants which release bold scents. They were one of the choice plants for many people to grow in home greenhouses in the Victoria era. Using a lemon scented pelargo, nium as the backbone of this spirit, complemented by fragrant orange, our unique and delicious gin has been created to be enjoyed in gardens everywhere. Manufactured in London, England under licence from RGB (sic) Kew Enterprises Ltd. All profits from R, GB Kew Enterprises Ltd. go to Kew to support its vital work.
