Ableforth's Bathtub Gin is a handcrafted gin full of character, stylistically inspired by the traditions of the American Prohibition era and produced using the cold compounding method. This production principle, in which spices and botanicals macerate directly in the base alcohol, gives the gin its distinctive flavour and aromatic depth. Whereas in the 1920s, low-quality alcohol was often prepared in improvised containers such as bathtubs, today Ableforth's only uses high-quality alcohol distilled in pot stills. Only 30 to 60 bottles are produced for each batch, which emphasises the craftsmanship and exclusivity of this bottling.

The botanicals used include juniper, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and orange peel, which give the gin its unmistakable character. The iconic, rustic packaging design with paper wrapping and wax seal is a deliberate homage to the historic spirit bottles of the Prohibition era. Bottled at 43.3 per cent by volume, the gin is aromatically dense, spicy and elegant at the same time, ideal for lovers of intense, classic gin profiles.

This Bathtub Gin is ideal for classic drinks such as gin and tonic, Martini or Negroni, as its spicy, resinous notes add depth and structure to cocktails. Its ethereal complexity can be further emphasised with fresh citrus zest or herbs such as rosemary. Foods such as smoked fish, strong cheeses or spicy tapas create an aromatic contrast that emphasises its complexity. Enjoyed neat, the gin reveals its dense flavour and long-lasting character in a particularly impressive way.
