The Collector Gin
is based on George Forrest (1873-1932). He was a plant hunter and lived locally in Loanhead, walking daily to the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Over 28 years, Forrest led seven bold expeditions to the exotics of Yunnan, China, to discover and collect new plants.
Though these trips were dangerous, they became heroic tales of bravery and adventure. Forrest brought back over 30,000 specimens, hundreds of which are still in cultivation today and flourish in many gardens.
The Collector pays homage to Forrest’s life and legacy. His story is incredible and interesting so worth a read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Forrest_(botanist)
We carefully combined seven locally-grown botanicals, including two of Forrest’s own discoveries: Berries from the Sorbus Forrestii and Flowers from Hemerocallis Forrestii. All botanicals are grown at The Secret Garden in Loanhead.
