A Roaring Twenties Romance in a Bottle - Celebrating Nearly a Century of Craft

Trevethan Gin

As cinema found its voice and the world embraced the glamour of the Roaring Twenties, a Cornish chauffeur named Norman Trevethan was quietly crafting his own masterpiece - a classic 'bathtub gin' inspired by London's gin palaces. Nearly a century later, that original 1929 recipe has been revived, refined and reimagined by chemist-turned-master distiller John Hall, transforming a family legacy into a modern icon.

Crafted in Cornwall and perfected by science, Trevethan 1929 Dry Gin (43% ABV | 70cl | RRP £38 at Sainsbury's) is distilled using the traditional London Dry method. It balances ten botanicals with precision and poise - juniper, coriander and angelica forming its classic backbone, layered with orange and lemon peel, cassia, cardamom and vanilla. Locally foraged Cornish elderflower and gorse flower lend a soft floral elegance, bringing warmth and romance to every sip.

The result is beautifully structured and expressive: bold juniper and bright citrus open the palate, unfolding into gentle florals and herbal complexity, finishing smooth with a subtle spiced sweetness. Venues such as Cici's Bar at Paul Ainsworth's No. 6 Restaurant in Padstow, Michael Caine's Lympstone Manor and Adam Handling's MBE Ugly Butterfly are serving the gin - served in G&Ts and cocktails.

Housed in a striking Art Deco-inspired bottle, Trevethan 1929 Dry Gin looks as stunning on your drinks cabinet as it does in a G&T. This Mother's Day, it's a fitting tribute to the women who shape our stories, lead with grace, and deserve a little everyday glamour of their own.

For a show-stopping Mother's Day serve worthy of the red carpet, pair 50ml of Trevethan 1929 Dry Gin with premium light tonic over ice. Garnish with a twist of orange peel and a sprig of rosemary to enhance its citrus brightness and juniper depth - a perfectly balanced G&T designed for celebrating at home.

Steeped in history, made with passion and perfected by science, Trevethan 1929 Dry Gin is almost a century in the making - a timeless gift for mothers who deserve nothing less than star treatment.
