Originally scheduled for a limited release in May 2023, Frostbite raced to the top of our fan favourite list and stayed there. Our goal with Frostbite was to formulate a gin that would bring the essence of a subzero Greytown frost to the glass. Pink Peppercorns, garden Mint and Lemon Peel in precise quantities from the GDC director’s home gardens create what we describe as the Frostbite gasp. Form your lips in an O shape and breathe in quickly after you have sipped your Frostbite. Of course, the colder, the better so it is best stored in the freezer and served over crushed ice with lemon and either soda water or a light Indian tonic, or stirred with a splash of dry vermouth and a lemon twist to create a simple Frostbite martini.

AWARDED 90 POINTS AT THE London IWSC 2024. Judges comments: “Aromas of orange blossom, satsuma, and white flowers greet the senses, while appealing woody undertones add depth. The palate is delicate and creamy, evolving into an herbaceous and bold experience. The attractive, peppery finish leaves a delightfully lasting impression.”

Sandalwood, Nutmeg, Orange and Malted Barley bring a woodsy, smoky and classic vintage essence to a gin that evokes a cosy night in when the weather is perfect for fireside reading. Would it be incredible mulled with some Molewood apple juice, Greytown honey, cloves, star anise and a small pinch of chilli flakes? With cinnamon sticks to garnish? Funny you should ask. It’s a great way to balance out the richness of slow cooked meats like heritage pork shoulder. The warm version is a perfect winter evening treat but it’s just as spectacular icy cold and enjoyed with a good ginger beer over ice. We believe Fireside Gin has the staying power to help you move smoothly between the seasons and you’ll be begging for winter to hang on for a little longer so your Fireside evenings continue to be enjoyed.

When the sun's rays break through a winter's day and warm your skin ... that's Apricity. 

Comforting notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, orange peel and Greytown's very own honey create a London Dry sunshine-in-your-glass experience. Apricity has earned our Martini Connoisseur Selection status. 

Villager gins celebrate our orcharding heritage, incredibly fertile soils perfect for backyard gardening and the proliferation of flowers and bees that complete this circle of abundance.
