He’s wowed the wine world with his Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Shiraz and Prosecco, now Graham Norton is about to uncork something new: an Irish Pink Gin.
“It all started in London in July 2018 “ says Invivo co-founder Tim Lightbourne. “We were working with Graham on this year’s wine blends, then at the end of a long blending session, someone suggested a celebratory round of martinis”.
It was during those drinks when Graham suggested adding an Irish Pink Gin to his range and the plan was born to create this fabulous drop.
True to his roots, Graham was really keen on partnering with an Irish distillery for this project and an extensive search led Norton and the team to a distillery not far from Graham’s Cork home.
West Cork Distillers worked with Graham to create two small-batch premium gins. Graham Norton’s Own Irish Pink Gin is made with Irish grain,and draws its flavour from a combination of 12 botanicals including lemon peel, orange peel, elderflower, rose hip, and fuchsia flowers. Whilst Graham Norton’s Own Irish Gin is a premium London Dry style, as distinctive as the man himself. Both gins utilise locally foraged botanicals as part of their unique blends.
“Great gin is a starting point. Add the right mixers, a favourite glass and a friend or two and you’ve got a recipe for something very special indeed.” Graham Norton
