More about the gins you'll try.:

Blithe Spirit

Top of the bill is the newly-relaunched York Gin Grey Lady - inspired by one of York’s most famous ghosts, the Grey Lady of the Theatre Royal.

With Earl Grey tea, distilled orange and lemon and butterfly pea flower this is a frighteningly delightful gin. A fitting tribute to the Grey Lady and all York’s ghosts.

The Stuff of Nightmares - you'll be grateful for your gin!

York Gin Outlaw Navy Strength is a different proposition altogether - inspired by the city’s awful characters including Gunpowder Plotter, Guy Fawkes, ‘Stand and deliver’ highwayman Dick Turpin and ‘Yorkshire Witch’ Mary Bateman who was also hanged - in her case, for poisoning!

York Gin Outlaw is dangerously smooth for its 57% strength.

Romans in Ruins

York Gin Roman Fruit is our tribute to York’s Roman origins. Made with fruit and flowers associated with the Romans including strawberries and hibiscus, its imperial dark red hue

The Romans have their own ghostly mark including stories of legions being spotted in the grounds of the Treasurer’s House.
