Brand: Chase Distillery | Category: London Dry Gin (Apple-Based) | ABV: 48% | Origin: Herefordshire, England | Vol: 700ml

Intro/Heritage:
Not all gins begin with grain, some begin with apples. Williams Elegant 48 is a true farm-to-bottle gin from the Chase family estate in Herefordshire. Distilled from their own cider apples and infused with 11 botanicals including elderflower and hops, this high-strength expression is crisp, complex, and unapologetically British. Fresh from the orchard, polished for the glass.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Fragrant and uplifting. Green apple, citrus peel, and fresh juniper dance with floral notes and a hint of herbaceous spice, like spring in the English countryside.
Palate: Bright and bold. Tart apple and lemon zest meet juniper, angelica, and subtle earthy tones. The texture is clean and structured, with the apple spirit giving it a soft orchard sweetness beneath the crispness.
Finish: Long, dry, and zesty. Citrus oils and dry spice linger with orchard-fresh elegance.

Production Details:
Crafted from English cider apples grown on the Chase family farm, distilled in a copper pot still and infused with botanicals including juniper, elderflower, Bramley apple, and hops. Bottled at a bold 48% ABV for added clarity and depth, hence the name Elegant 48.
