Dog's Watch Gin

Introducing the award winning Dog's Watch Gin, a finely balanced London Dry Style Gin with a name that carries a meaningful two-part story. 

The first part of its name draws inspiration from the Navy Watch System known as the 'Dog's Watch,' in operation from 1600 to 2000. It's a nod to a tradition steeped in history.

The second part of its name holds a profound significance, symbolising the unwavering support and companionship that dogs provide. If you're fortunate, you'll have a loyal four-legged friend watching over you, offering comfort and solace.

But there's more to this gin than a name. It's a spirit with a purpose.

If you're not familiar with MindDog Australia, they play a vital role in helping individuals dealing with mental health challenges. MindDog Australia assists in procuring, training, and certifying psychiatric assistance dogs. These remarkable dogs become lifelines for people struggling with mental health disorders, often held back by anxiety and fear.

With the aid of a MindDog, these individuals regain their independence. They can confidently travel on public transport, access public places, and engage in social activities that were once out of reach.

By choosing Dog's Watch Gin, you're not just acquiring a bottle of exceptional gin; you're making a difference. £5 from each sale goes directly to MindDog, supporting not only veterans but also those in our community who are in need.

So, raise a glass of Dog's Watch Gin and toast to a spirit that stands for tradition, companionship, and making a positive impact in the lives of others. Cheers to a brighter future and a community that cares.

This Gin begins with a gentle introduction of Juniper, which gradually intensifies alongside delicate citrus and floral notes. As you delve deeper into its flavour profile, you'll uncover subtle hints of spice and earthiness, subtly intertwining with the citrus and a touch of sweetness. The finish is beautifully balanced, with the flavours harmoniously fading away in perfect synchrony.
