The team at Gunsgreen House haven’t had it easy of late with storm Arwen, back in December of last year, causing extensive structural damage and tearing a hole in the building’s roof.
This, coupled with several years of uncertainty and restrictions through the pandemic, meant that the team had to explore other ways and means to generate income for the Trust.
The idea of the Gin was very much on their radar and whilst we were working on the recent rebranding of Gunsgreen House, we were also asked to help the team develop the branding and packaging for Gunsgreen Gin, as well as supporting items such as aprons, banners and branded glasses.
Experience the true spirit of unruly curiosity
Inspired by the infamous smuggling past associated with the house, the packaging was created around the idea of old-fashioned contrabrand with a modern twist.
Reflecting the deep history and heritage of this story, this small batch gin is embroiled in idiosyncratic flavours and a distinctive mix of rich botanicals.
A night to remember
After a lot of hard work and persistence the team at Gunsgreen finally celebrated the official release of the Gin at an event held at the landmark house last Thursday night.
The event was a huge success and was attended by a whole host of local business owners and friends and associates of the trust as well as our very own Steve and Lisa who had the pleasure of sampling a few of the cocktails knocked up by the specialist mixologist.
Thanks to Tracy and the team for a great night and we wish them well in their new and exciting Gin venture.
