Silent Pool Gin is distilled in-house on a former farm site on the Albury Estate in Surrey, and it was founded by former ITV Director Ian McCulloch and drinks expert James Shelbourne. As well as using water from the spring-fed Silent Pool pond next to the distillery, from which the gin takes its name and the colour of its bottle, it features 24 botanicals. These include chamomile, rose, elderflower, Kaffir lime leaf, pear, bergamot and local honey. Two simultaneous macerations take place, one with the hardier botanicals and one with more floral botanicals, before the resulting spirits are added to the Holstein copper still (heated by a wood-fired boiler) along with further botanicals in the gin basket in the neck of the still.
