Two years ago, we made a small-batch gin called In Full Bloom for our Crowdfunder.
Distilled with fresh flowering coriander picked by hand from a friend's smallholding and into the still the very same day, it quickly became one of the most-loved bottles we've ever made.
Ever since it sold out, we've had messages asking if we'd ever bring it back. In fact, it's still the limited edition we're asked about more than any other.
This year, as we celebrate our fifth birthday, Daisy finally said yes. (Hurrah!)
It feels like rather a good time to do it. In Full Bloom was the Crowdfunder gin, created to thank the people who backed us while we were navigating the upheaval of moving sites and building the tasting room and taproom we now call home. Bringing it back five years into the Loveday story feels fitting.
If you've never tried it before, In Full Bloom is floral in a herb-garden way rather than a perfume-counter way. The fresh coriander flowers bring a delicate freshness and an unexpected orange-scented citrus note that catches people by surprise every time. It's bright, elegant and unmistakably summery.
It also has a habit of making coriander haters swoon.
A few things people said the first time around:
"I don't even like coriander and somehow this has become my favourite gin."
"Every time I pour a glass of this I'm a little bit annoyed you only made 200 bottles."
"PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAKE MORE OF THIS."
This is also a small break from our usual rhythm. Normally, we'd be sharing the next release in our 100 Bottles a Season series around now, but between celebrating our fifth birthday and having the chance to bring back the bottle we're asked about more than any other, this felt like an opportunity too good to pass up.
Like our seasonal releases, In Full Bloom comes with all the hand-finished details you've come to expect: a recipe booklet, illustrated neck tag and, for the first 15 orders, an original lino print inspired by the botanicals inside the bottle.
We're making a single distillation run of 250 bottles and, once they're gone, they're gone.
At least that's the plan.
