Michael Wilde’s Award winning Blue John hand crafted gin. Distilled using locally foraged and classic botanicals capturing the rarity of Blue John and the wild beauty of Derbyshire.
Our metallic label captures the spirit of this beautiful and rare semi precious mineral, found in the high and wild part of the Dark Peak District.
Blue John is a form of fluorite, with bands of blue, purple, white and yellow colours. It is Britain’s rarest mineral, first discovered at Castleton by the Romans almost 2000 years ago. During the 19th century, it was mined for its value as a beautiful and rare stone, with mining continuing on a small, carefully managed, scale today.
…Oh – and it makes for a cracking G&T..!
