It started with their location. They craft ‘True River Spirit’ on the banks of the world famous River Test, in the heart of the English countryside in Hampshire.
The river is internationally renowned for its fly fishing and ‘gin-clear waters’ and it is this backdrop that provides the inspiration behind The River Test Distillery.
They wanted to make an outstanding gin, a gin which both complements a premium tonic and is distinctive enough to be enjoyed neat, as a sipping gin, simply with ice.
Their gin is the spirit of the river and its botanicals in a bottle, which in itself tells their story.
