Love in a Bottle: Quayside Distillery attempts a gin world first for Valentine’s Day

Quayside Distillery, the innovative hotspot in Exeter, known for its unconventional creations, is set to revolutionise Valentine’s Day with a world-first gin like no other.

This pioneering distillery is making waves with their latest creation – a gin made especially for Valentine’s Day, using some… surprising ingredients.

In a world first, they’re going to attempt to create a gin infused with all of the traditional symbols of love – from roses and chocolates, even down to those old age Love Heart candies we all know and love.

But that’s not all, they’re even throwing some exciting secret ingredients into their tantalising elixir, all in the name of love (and gin)! Get ready to indulge in a truly extraordinary drink this Valentine’s Day!

If you’ve yet to hear of Quayside Distillery, you’re one of the few. With their unwavering commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries, Quayside Distillery has set themselves apart from their competitors. Nestled on Exeter’s historic quay, this modern-minded business brings an assortment of flavours and experiences to its customers. From tastings and tours through to functions and favours, it’s basically a real-life Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, but this one is strictly for the adults.

Their mission is to challenge traditional norms and create unforgettable experiences for their patrons. Guided by a team of passionate visionaries, Quayside Distillery has transformed the way people perceive their ‘usual tipples’ and now, they’re set to transform Valentine’s Day too. Or, at least, they’re going to try!

In an industry saturated with conventional practices, Quayside Distillery has dared to be different, and when it comes to Valentine’s Day, they’re pushing the boundaries of gin even further. Through the incredible science, nay – art, of vacuum distilling, they are able to create game-changing flavours for their clients. On an average day, they can even turn a packet of Monster Munch into a one-of-a-kind gin. Yes, you read that right.

So, how does it work? Well, unlike traditional distillation methods that rely on high heat and atmospheric pressure, vacuum distilling operates under reduced pressure. This lower pressure allows for distillation to occur at much lower temperatures, preserving flavours and aromas that would otherwise be lost or altered. It’s like a magical journey where every intricate detail of the botanicals is captured and transformed into liquid gold! And Quayside Distillery have got the process refined to a tee. So much so, they’re testing their own abilities in their latest love-struck creation, challenging themselves like never before.

Who knows what they’ll come up with next? If you can’t wait until Valentines Day to find out, or even if you want to play a part in their gin-spiration, you can book your own visit via their website.

For the ultimate experience, and to find out what keeps everyone coming back, book your own tour or tasting at Quayside Distillery. Not only will you have the opportunity to see and learn about the distilling process firsthand, but you’ll even get a chance to taste their extraordinary concoctions for yourself.
