MR. WHITE’S GIN, the super-premium gin created by Michelin-starred chef, Marco Pierre White, and Master Distiller, Chris Sadler, has been listed by Bottle & Co, the store within a store at the prestigious Harvey Nichols, Birmingham.
Chef Marco Pierre White, the ground-breaking genius who was dubbed ‘The Godfather’ of modern cooking, launched his gin nationwide in the spring. MR WHITE’S GIN (40% ABV /70cl / £30 at Bottle + Co) is a bold, smooth, modern classic, with a contemporary twist, rooted in English tradition with a nod to the chef’s Italian heritage. This traditionally made gin is created using copper pot stills and crafted in small batches, delivering an artisanal approach. It embodies respect for quality and respect for craft.
Bottle + Co is located in Harvey Nichols, The Mailbox, 65 Wharfside Street, Birmingham, B1 1RE.
Carl Hawkins, Manager of Bottle + Co (pictured) said: “We’re proud to be stocking Mr White’s Gin – it’s a beautifully crafted spirit that perfectly balances tradition and innovation. Our customers appreciate authenticity and quality, and Mr White’s Gin embodies both. It’s a great fit for Bottle + Co’s mission to champion distinctive, independent brands with real character.”
Already, MR. WHITE’S GIN is attracting a strong audience of drinks connoisseurs and cocktail enthusiasts, especially those looking for elegant home entertaining options.
Marco Pierre White says: “Creating a gin is like creating a sauce: the fine balance of ingredients – in this case botanicals – must be supremely good. I’ve spent decades selecting ingredients, understanding flavour, demanding quality. The same principle applies whether you’re in the kitchen or creating a spirit. Mr White’s London Dry Gin is built on nine natural botanicals, mostly from Mediterranean regions, where quality ingredients come from. Chris Sadler, master distiller with thirty years of expertise, distilled it; I brought the palate and the standards. It took time to get the recipe right. I don’t compromise. This is a gin with a purpose, and I’m delighted we’re now stocked at Bottle + Co.”
MR WHITE’S GIN is packaged in an elegant and distinguished white glass bottle with red highlights, signed by Marco Pierre White, and featuring a wax dipped closure.
The botanicals in MR WHITE’S GIN are Juniper from Italy, Coriander, Cardamom, Italian Orris Root, French Lavender, Fresh Lemon Peel from Greece, Fresh Orange Peel from Spain, Lemon Verbena, and Liquorice sourced in France.
Tasting notes:
MR. WHITE’S GIN offers a sophisticated and balanced flavour profile that delights the palate
On the nose: a fresh and invigorating bouquet where classic juniper takes centre stage, complemented by bright citrus freshness which add a lively zest, while subtle floral hints weave a touch of elegance and intrigue to create an inviting and well-balanced aroma.
On the palate:
- Juniper: The backbone of this London Dry Gin, with robust and classic pinene notes.
- Citrus Notes: Lemon and orange peel deliver bright, zesty flavours adding a refreshing quality.
- Spices and Herbs: Warm, aromatic spices and herbaceous notes that enhance the complexity and depth of the spirit.
- Floral Undertones: Delicate floral hints from French Lavender, that add an extra layer of sophistication.
- Sweet and Earthy Elements: Subtle sweet and earthy undertones that round out the profile.
Mouthfeel: A smooth and silky texture, with a medium to full body that makes it both refreshing and satisfying. Its well-rounded mouthfeel ensures that the flavours are evenly distributed and linger pleasantly after each sip.
Finish: The finish is clean and crisp, with the dominant juniper and citrus notes gradually giving way to the more subtle spicy, herbal, and sweet undertones. This leaves a refreshing and balanced aftertaste.
MR. WHITE’S GIN is versatile. The perfect G&T serve is garnished with a sprig of lavender. Suggested cocktails, combining Marco Pierre White’s English and Italian heritage, are a Gin and It; Italian 75; White Negroni.
