Supporting a British pony by drinking gin — what is there not to like?
As part of its centenary celebrations this year, the Exmoor Pony Society (EPS) has commissioned a limited-edition gin inspired by the moorland ecosystem and in aid of the society’s work.
Jake spent time researching plants connected to Exmoor, which has resulted in a “unique, Exmoor-inspired gin”.
“The Distillery is proud to be contributing towards one of Britain’s rarest and most beautiful native equine breeds,” he said.
“The gin we have created is a classic London dry style with a strong juniper character, its unique flavour inspired by the ecosystem of Exmoor.
“Alongside the more traditional botanicals, local whortleberry, heather flower, honey and samphire are in its botanical ingredients.”
Jake described the gin as having a “subtle floral aroma, and a notably dry slightly coastal finish”.
Sue Burger said: “We are really excited to be able to offer our members, supporters and the wider public the opportunity to purchase a high quality gin from a well-known distillery. We hope it will help to raise the profile of Exmoor ponies as well as providing some income to further the society’s work.”
