We’ve got some fantastic suppliers of drinks exhibiting at BPIHT this year and we want to make sure you know all about them! Some of our drinks exhibitors want to tell you about themselves and their favourite products which they think you should try while you’re there!
Bramble Drinks Company
I’m Cathy and I own Bramble Drinks Company which is based in East Sussex. I make handcrafted liqueurs from fresh seasonal hand-picked local Sussex fruits. It’s all honest, sustainable and totally delicious! With no added chemicals, synthesised or artificial flavourings, it’s just got nature at its heart.
I’m most excited about bringing my signature ‘Bramble’ Blackberry Liqueur up to Blenheim as it’s sophisticated, fabulous with champagne and causes a lot of excitement, a bit like the horse trials really! I’m especially proud of it as it was my first line – the original and in my opinion, the best. When I started Bramble Drinks Company 18 months ago, doing events and shows such as Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials was just an aspiration or hope for ‘one day’ and now I’m going to be there, it’s a super moment for me and my company.
My Blackberry Liqueur is made from the finest East Sussex Blackberries from the hedgerows and from a wild farm in the heart of the weald. It sits at 25% ABV and is to be enjoyed neat with a graze board or mixed into a wonderful cocktail such as the Bramble Royale.
Wild Fox Distillery
We are Wild Fox Distillery. A small, farm-to-bottle distillery based in rural Lancashire. All our spirits are made right here on our farm using botanicals and fruits we grow ourselves. All of our gins are distilled which means even the fruiter ones are classic dry gins, no sugar syrups or flavourings here! We strive to embody the great British countryside in each bottle, proudly backing British farming with everything we do.
For the horse trials, I would have to pick Mane Event, five-star gin. It was born this time last year and launched exclusively at Blenheim 12 months ago. It is a bright, refreshing Mediterranean style dry gin developed to toast a great day’s eventing. This gin is packed full of vibrant botanicals including ruby grapefruit, basil, mint and rosemary. Mane Event makes the most exhilarating G&T, your taste buds simply dance! The perfect way to end the day!
Mane Event won a major award this year, a 95-point gold medal in the International Wine and Spirits competition. Out of 10,000 English gins entered, only 10 gold medals were awarded and Mane Event bagged one of those!
Wildjac
We are a progressive, independent distillery, rooted by over 150 years of experience. Our natural spirits are distilled and bottled by hand from our home deep within the beautiful Wyre Forest.
Natural, locally foraged, and ethically sourced ingredients are at the heart of every bottle produced. Our never-ending desire for a better future is our commitment to search for better materials, and kinder ways of working, to benefit both our local and global community.
The item I would pick from our range is Cherrywood Spiced rum. The reason being Rum is such an exciting and developing category within the drinks industry and the expansion into aged rums that are enhanced with fruits or herbs is a greatly under-represented area of the category.
Make sure to visit these three tasty sounding stands as well as the rest of the incredible tradestands on offer, of which there are over 200!
