Yorkshire Tea Gin – WHAT it is, WHY you should try it and WHERE you can buy it!
Mason’s Gin is distilled in the small market town of Bedale and the original Masons Yorkshire Gin has been around since 2013, when their final recipe was agreed upon. Botanicals include almond oil, fennel, cardamon, bay leaf, lemon, orange, lime zest and a great deal of juniper!

The brand recommends serving their Yorkshire Gin Tea Edition as a traditional G&T, garnished with fresh lemon zest. They describe their wonderfully ‘Yorkshire’ tipple as ” Delicate and fresh upon the palate, with a citrus sharpness hitting the senses and fresh aromas that swirl around. Plenty of Yorkshire Tea flavour develops on the palate, as well as fresh aniseed, cardamom & pepper notes before the tea returns for the long finish.”
