Slingsby
Our mission is to help save the hawksbill Turtle while bringing joy to the people with our delicious spiced Rum. Expect sweet Vanilla to float across the palate before a wave of toasted Nutmeg, cinnamon and Raisin breaks, allowing a hint of Cardamom and Sea Salt to nestle the taste buds.
The critically endangered Hawskbill Turtle is in danger of extinction. These magnificent creatures really do have it bad. If they’re not being hunted for their beautiful striking shell, they are being harvested for their meat and eggs resulting in populations that are severely depleted globally.
Like other Sea Turtles, Hawksbills make incredible migratory journeys in order to move from feeding sites to nesting grounds, usually on Tropical beaches. Coastal development has unfortunately made it difficult for our Turtle friends to find a suitable nesting space.
We are donating 10% of out sales to the Hawksbill charity to help preserve their well being and their existence.
Our story begins in the North Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate which is home and inspiration for our award-winning Spirits.
In 1571 William Slingsby discovered the unique properties of the natural spring water from Harrogate’s Tewit Well. His discovery brought thousands of visitors to ‘take the waters’ which was thought to have medicinal properties and to this day, people from all over the world visit the spa town to restore their body, mind and soul. Slingsby Gin seeks to capture the ‘Spirit of Harrogate’; synonymous with its beautiful and restorative nature and deliver it in a bottle for you to enjoy.
Our gins are crafted using 24 carefully selected botanicals. These include hand-grown local plants from Rudding Park Hotel kitchen garden in Harrogate and fruits from local Yorkshire suppliers that go into our flavoured range; our Rhubarb Gin is made with fruit from the world famous ‘Rhubarb Triangle’ in Wakefield and we use Yorkshire gooseberries and blackberries from Balloon Tree Farm in York. These ingredients are combined with a handful of the finest ingredients from around the world such as the grapefruit peel that gives our London Dry Gin that delicate citrus flavour and the most important ingredient of them all, our piney juniper berries.
