Product Information

Fill the basin one-third full with the pudding mix, then pop the orange into it. Add the rest of the pudding mix around and on top of the orange and smooth over. Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three is juniper-led and exceptionally smooth with traditional winter spice notes and subtle hints of bitter orange. As Chris explains, “The pub has a lot of history, and is said to be where, centuries ago, a local police officer arrested a gang of regulars who also happened to be sheep rustlers. He became known as ‘The Surrey Copper’ and it just seemed to fit with the rest of our thinking.” We’ve enlisted the help of Michael Dunnett-Stone, founder of Craftr.co.uk, the craft spirit marketplace, to help. From traditional to modern, these are his top five. Copperfield Vol.1, Surrey Copper Distillery The Surrey Copper Distillery is teaming up with AFC Energy, a provider of hydrogen power generation technologies, to produce a low-emission craft gin.

The brand is named after George Chinnery, the English painter, who began his career in Dublin, before travelling to China. The bottle is inspired by these two parts of his career – Georgian Dublin and Imperial China. The special edition ‘Copperfield H 2 Gin’ is being produced in a limited initial batch of 500 bottles and went on sale today. Copperfield vol. 1, their flagship gin, is a supremely high-quality spirit – rich with juniper and exceptionally smooth. It is handcrafted in small batches in a traditional copper pot, and its botanicals (Orris Root, Angelica, Liquorice, Coriander, Lemon Peel) are straight from the 1757 edition of the original distilling book, ‘The Complete Distiller’ – about as traditional as it’s possible to get. Katherine stumbled across this original recipe when building her distilling library, and resurrected it. You can even see the original 18th century scribbles on the inside of the bottle label. Whilst preparing the orange, place all the remaining dried fruit, cherries and almonds, apple and orange zest and juice in a bowl, together with the gin and orange liqueur. Cover and allow to sit overnight. Equally distinctive is the beautiful bottle that Hollie has designed for their gin. Kensington grandeur at its finest, and a delightful addition to any drinks cabinet.That balance I was just talking about? That stands Copperfield in pretty good stead when it comes to the ultimate test. It makes a martini that’s squarely classical, rather traditional. Which I like. Cover the pudding with a pleated sheet of buttered parchment, then a pleated sheet of oil, and tie firmly around the rim with string. The partnership between the two companies in creating this unique gin is said to showcase the exciting innovation happening across Britain, as well as highlighting how hydrogen could support the decarbonisation of many of the UK’s gin distilleries.

Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Two is juniper-led and exceptionally smooth with fragrant floral notes and subtle hints of spice. Botanicals include Pink Peppercorns, Cubeb Berries, Rose Petals, Hibiscus, Elderflower and Lavender.The collaboration exemplifies exciting British innovation and creativity, bringing together two neighbouring, Surrey-based businesses. It also highlights how hydrogen could support decarbonisation of the UK’s 400 plus gin distilleries and more broadly the food and beverage industry to meet net zero targets.” Serve with lemon juice, half a teaspoon of sugar, mint leaves and light tonic for a perfect Mint Julep.

AFC Energy CEO Adam Bond added: “Hydrogen fuel cell technologies can be implemented today across a wide-range of applications as demonstrated by our collaboration with our neighbours at The Surrey Copper Distillery. The Copperfield gin harnesses the ingenuity of two local businesses to demonstrate creative ways in which clean hydrogen can be used to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and support the transition to a zero-carbon future.” A leading provider of hydrogen power generation technologies, AFC Energy have supplied a H-Power Tower used to distill the Copperfield gin. It produces electricity from hydrogen, resulting in much lower CO 2emissions throughout the distilling process than what is typically used. Hydrogen fuel cell technologies can be implemented today across a wide-range of applications as demonstrated by our collaboration with our neighbours at The Surrey Copper Distillery. Having made a name for themselves making fine English wine, Lance and Caroline Whitehead turned their attention to the spirit that was Lance’s drink of choice during his time in the RAF. They sourced a beautiful still from Germany, local water from their estate and botanicals from around the world. The resulting flavour of Dartmouth gin is relatively complex, with botanicals ranging from aromatic cubeb berries to Scotch pine. The overriding sense is that of a well-made classic – smooth and full-flavoured.A measure of Copperfield London Dry Gin poured over ice, add a premium tonic water and garnish with fresh lemon peel and a single mint leaf To cook the pudding, steam for 6 hours, topping up the water occasionally, or place in a slow cooker, pour hot water halfway up the side of the basin and cook on high for 8 1/2 hrs. Leave the pudding to cool. To reheat, steam in a pan for 1 hour. You can microwave for 10 mins on medium power, first remove foil and parchment then cover with cling film, but steaming gives a better result.
