We had an incredible time hosting a Gin Tasting session with the amazing team at The PIG Hotel at Combe. The afternoon was more than just a tasting; it was a celebration of sustainability, local ingredients, and the art of crafting exceptional gin.
A Perfect Synergy: Exeter Gin & THE PIG’s "Soil to Glass" Ethos
At the heart of this collaboration was a shared commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. THE PIG’s "Soil to Glass" ethos mirrors our philosophy at Exeter Gin, both focusing on using locally sourced ingredients, reducing waste, and honouring the natural world. From handpicked botanicals to homegrown garnishes, every sip of gin tells a story deeply rooted in our region’s rich flavours.
The Essence of Local Ingredients
Each ingredient that goes into Exeter Gin is carefully selected to reflect the land we call home. The team at THE PIG shares this passion, using their kitchen garden to grow fresh garnishes that perfectly complement our botanically rich gin. It’s this dedication to authenticity and sustainability that makes each drink an experience rather than just a beverage.
"If You Pick Something, You Plant Something"
One philosophy that truly resonated with us during our time at THE PIG was: "If you pick something, you plant something." This simple yet powerful principle is a beautiful way to ensure that nature continues to thrive. By respecting the cycle of growth and renewal, we not only enjoy nature’s gifts but also contribute to its preservation for future generations.
Celebrating Craft, Community, and Sustainability
Our tasting session was a journey of discovery; exploring the flavours, aromas, and stories behind every glass. It was inspiring to connect with like-minded individuals who value sustainability as much as we do. The synergy between Exeter Gin and THE PIG at Combe is a testament to how businesses can work together to create something truly special while honouring the environment.
Thank you to Tom and the team at The Pig for hosting us, we look forward to returning later in the year.
