The Friday Gin Review ~ Thomas Dakin Small Batch Gin

The Gin

It’s 1761, and in the north of England, Thomas Dakin began distilling gin. Gin was definitely not as trendy then as it is now yet he persevered. In 1809, his daughter-in-law Margaret became the first female distiller with the Greenall family becoming custodians of Thomas Dakin gin recipe in 1860. 200 years later, a new distillery to meet the growing demand. Destroyed by fire in 2005, the original stills survived and in 2015 Thomas Dakin Small Batch Gin is launched.
