FOOD & DRINK True to his character, Burrell’s Dry Gin is a classic, smooth and crisp London Dry Gin which builds on tradition with a contemporary, fruity flavour. The creation of Burrell’s Dry Gin was the result of more than a year of rigorous research and flavour testing. Fortunately, the production of Burrell’s Dry Gin wasn’t affected by the nationwide lockdown, although Tristan’s plans for a glamorous launch party had to be shelved. Although pubs and bars are presently closed, he hopes that the new gin can support the trade once restrictions are lifted. Tristain said: Tristan said: “Ultimately, we’d love for our drink to be sold in bars, pubs, restaurants and in shops, which are having a really tough time at the moment. I’ve got a lot of respect for the drinks industry and I hope that this exciting, Lincolnshire-made gin can help them out when they’re able to reopen.” “Meanwhile, we have a fully contactless online ordering and delivery system, so we can hopefully make lockdown a little more enjoyable for everyone. “With its warm and fruity flavour, Burrell’s Dry Gin is perfect for a long evening by an outdoor fire pit, or add a twist of orange peel and ice to unwind in a sunny spot in the garden.” Massingberd-Mundy Distillery is one of the latest businesses to have been established at South Ormsby Estate, as part of the estate’s ambitions to revitalise the local area. Supporting the growth of new rural businesses and the local economy as well as restoring and conserving historic buildings and the rural environment is central to the estate’s ambition to make the area a better place to live, work and enjoy. Estate spokesperson, Damien Howard-Pask said: “We’re really excited to be launching the first commercially produced gin from the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tristan’s passion for gin and his expertise in distillation has helped to produce a drink which is beyond any other I’ve tasted. “We really want small, rural businesses like this to thrive at South Ormsby Estate because it has such a positive effect on the whole area. Launching at Massingberd-Mundy Distillery has meant Tristan and his family are now able to live and work in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and they’ll be creating more jobs in future as the company grows. “The distillery is also helping to support a wide range of other local businesses, from label makers to marketers, and, of course, by using locally-sourced ingredients, it’s supporting agriculture, which is so important in a rural area like South Ormsby Estate. “Moving forwards, we hope that the distillery and all other current and future businesses on the estate will have an increasingly positive impact on the local economy, community and the rural environment. We couldn’t be happier with our fantastic new gin.” Burrell’s Dry Gin is now available for purchase from the South Ormsby Estate website for £39.00 per 70cl bottle, with free contactless delivery.
