Kicking off their multi-year partnership, Witchmark Distillery and Bath Rugby are proud to announce the launch of their limited- edition co-branded London Dry Gin.
The Bath Rugby x Witchmark Spirited Union Gin is based on Witchmark’s award- winning Single Origin London Dry Gin, re-envisioned with a co-branded label in Bath Rugby’s signature blue, black and white. This is a classic, timeless gin made with a refined blend of botanicals, bursting with juniper’s piney freshness, bright orange zest and the aromatic warmth of cinnamon and cubeb, along with a touch of bay leaf for savoury notes and coriander for a citrusy spice. Each bottle carries Bath Rugby’s iconic blue, black and white colours alongside the Witchmark marque, making it as much a keepsake of a treble-winning season as it is a beautifully made gin.
Witchmark Distillery gets its name from the protected ‘witch marks’ found in the stone of their buildings, dating back to the 1600s. These symbols made from scribing interlinking circles safeguarded the occupants and the produce within.
Each of Witchmark’s single origin spirits are distilled from barley grown in the fields surrounding distillery, just thirty miles from the Recreation Ground where Bath Rugby play.
“This is our first collaboration and it’s a special one,” shared Jon Carson, co- founder and Commercial Director of Witchmark Distillery, “This is a meaningful partnership with a Club who shares our values of excellence and local pride, especially with our distillery just down the road from The Rec. This gin is a classic example of a London Dry and works brilliantly in a G&T or Martini and will serve as a piece of history, both for Witchmark and Bath Rugby.”
James Bibby, Commercial Director shares, “We’re thrilled to launch this special edition with Witchmark to mark a truly unforgettable Treble-winning season. I can’t think of a better way to toast the success of that season than through this new offering to our supporters both on matchday’s at The Rec and in the city too.”
The gin retails for £43 and will be available in limited quantities through Bath Rugby’s retail channels, including The Rec stadium shop and hospitality lounges, as well as directly from Witchmark’s visitor centre and online store, as well as selected retailers including Ludo Sports Bar and Kitchen, The Sam Weller’s, The Three Horseshoes, The Architect in Bath, Independent Spirit of Bath, Hideout Bath and Flan O’Briens.
