Jimmy Public is an avid explorer, and Jimmy knows his gin. True to style, Jimmy has sourced and foraged across the globe to find the best ingredients to make his style of gin. The ingredients needed to be pure and expressive, the gin needed to be bold and distinctive from other gins, but it needed to stay true to a London-dry style.
He decided that he needed to focus on his favourite part of the juniper berry and then subtly support and accentuate it — the citrus character. So he gathered an array of citrus plants from Egypt to Hoedspruit to Bronkhorstpruit to take their place alongside Tuscan juniper, which is richer in citrus oils than its Eastern European counterparts. The result is the citrus limits of a London dry — refreshingly distinctive, yet pure and true.
- Lemon citrus flavour is supported by a range of other citrus elements in a way that is rounded, full and distinctively different, yet clearly holding true to the classic London dry notes
- A spicy-savoury warmth with a tiny hint of pine to ensure balance
- Ingredients include:
- Tuscan juniper imported directly — they carry more oils and aren't as bitter as their Easter European and African counterparts
- Coriander imported from the UK, where it is part of a countryside renewal program
- Fresh lime, lemon and grapefruit, all bought from Hoedspruit
- Lemon peel, which is sun-dried and hand kibbled in Egypt as they have the highest quality dried fruit anywhere in the world
- Lemon balm, grown on urban rooftop gardens in Johannesburg
- Lemongrass, grown specifically for Jimmy Public in Bronkhorstpruit for full control over soil conditions and the exact flavour profile to ensure the gins are 100% consistent
