About BLOOM Gin:

BLOOM Gin is an award-winning floral London Dry Gin, inspired by nature and created by Master Distiller Joanne Moore.Joanne selects the flowers of chamomile and honeysuckle and the  citrus  fruit  pomelo  as  the  three main  botanicals  for  BLOOM Gin – each one contributing to the delicate gin drinking experience. BLOOM Gin particularly appeals to the female palate and to those who prefer a less juniper-­led gin. Our floral gin is best enjoyed in a G&T with strawberries or mixed in cocktails.BLOOM Gin is distilled by the world’s oldest gin distillers, G&J Distillers; known worldwide  for the  superior quality  of their spirits. During their 250 year history, only seven Master Distillers have fulfilled the role which is now carried out by Joanne Moore, following on the tradition of female gin pioneers at the distillery. BLOOM Gin is available around the world and has won many awards and medals for its superior taste, quality and bottle design, including a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
