About Silent Pool Gin
Silent Pool Distillers is an artisan distillery located on the Albury Estate, nestled at the foot of the Surrey Hills in the UK. Its expert distillers create a wide range of handcrafted spirits, including the multi award-winning Silent Pool Gin.
Silent Pool Gin is crafted with exceptional care, using the very finest botanicals from nature to capture the essence and sprawling beauty of the Surrey Hills. The result is a rich and clean juniper-driven liquid, complimented with floral layers of lavender and chamomile, fresh notes of citrus and local honey for a wonderfully smooth finish. The result is a perfectly balanced gin that is both traditional and refreshingly individual.
Silent Pool Gin has picked up many fans and plaudits along the way, including a recent Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Silent Pool Gin is now widely available across the UK and is exported to more than 27 countries, with recent launches in the U.S. and Japan.
