Mr Hobbs Henley Gin

Gin description

In 1870 Mr Harry Hobbs, founder of Hobbs and Sons (now Hobbs of Henley) and publican of The Ship Hotel was renowned throughout the town for his flamboyant beard and high-spirited nature. He was often seen in his punt around 11am enjoying his home-distilled gin. Recently a list of botanicals were found in the Hobbs archives which led us to believe that Harry made his own gin. We decided what better way to celebrate the founder of our family business than to put Harry’s spirit in a bottle. We have added a couple of more botanicals to give it a modern twist and today we are proud to share our cherished family tipple with you. Mr Hobbs Gin is a 45% Distilled Gin with strength and flavour. The mix of traditional and local botanicals create a distinctive taste reminiscent of old style “Export“ Strength Gins. The introduction of a curl of orange peel brings out the citrus notes and gives a complex, long and refreshing finish.
