Tied the Knot Wedding Gin by Manchester Gin was crafted by founders Seb and Jen to celebrate their own wedding in 2022.
Relaunching in time for wedding season as part of the distillery's core range, Tied the Knot contains 11 botanicals in perfect harmony. Juniper-forward, like most of the Manchester Gin range, this very special edition also celebrates the delicate summer flavours of elderflower and hibiscus, which work beautifully with bright lemon and grapefruit.
The gin has been well received by wedding venues across the north west, and makes the perfect spirit for reception drinks, wedding presents, or favours.
It's available directly through Manchester Gin for RRP £42 per bottle (700ml, 42% ABV). It can also be purchased for bars, venues, shops and retailers by contacting sales@manchestergin.co.uk. Visit: manchestergin.co.uk
Jen Wiggins says of the gin, "It was inspired by our lucky number 11 - we've used 11 botanicals to create a gin that celebrates harmony. As a pair we bounce off one another, and this gin is testament to our differences in perfect balance."
