58 Gin Apple & Hibiscus

A relatively new discovery for Luxe Bible, we’ve fallen in love with 58 Gin Apple and Hibiscus who say their gin is made from the heart. Through straight forward sourcing and simple techniques, 58 Gin based is beneath the railway arches in Haggerston, uses sustainable ingredients (like wonky Cox’s apples) and during lockdown, dedicated their business to making hand sanitiser.

Anyway, enough about how awesome they are, what about the gin? Well aside from having one of the most beautiful bottles we’ve ever seen, the apple and hibiscus with its pink hue, tastes of sweet juicy apples and floral hibiscus notes, is also free from artificial sugars and sweeteners.

It’s fresh, and balanced without being overpowering, and has a delicious smooth finish. Botanicals include pink grapefruit, angelica and vanilla and we loved drinking ours with tonic and a slice of citrus. Available from their very cool website 58Gin priced at £34 for a 70cl bottle, 43% ABV

PINKSTER Gin
