Autumn 2026

Autumn distilled. Soft, fruit-forward, and balanced. On the nose, crisp orchard apple and ripe hedgerow berries with a whisper of spice. The flavour opens with fresh apple, deepens into rich berry notes, and warms gently with subtle spice before finishing long and clean.

Our 2026 release comprises 100 perfect bottles.

The process

Each botanical in Autumn 2026 is cold-distilled individually at our Kensal Green distillery. Apples express their freshness differently to hedgerow berries. Spice needs a different approach again. By distilling each one separately, we give every botanical the conditions it needs to express itself.

Cold distillation protects what heat would destroy. It's a slower, more demanding way to work. But it's what allows the freshness of the orchard fruit, the character of the berries and the warmth of the spice to remain distinct.

As a family-run operation, we keep production small by intention, not constraint. Every bottle is filled, numbered, and sent out by hand. Autumn 2026 is limited to one hundred bottles.

The harvest passes, but the bottle remains.

Tasting notes

Palate: fresh apple, soft fruit and subtle warmth.

Finish: long and balanced, with gentle spice and orchard fruit.

How to serve

Autumn is a season for slower drinks and longer evenings. Here are a few of our favourite ways to enjoy the gin, from a dry, spirit-forward cocktail to a simple serve over ice.

The Autumn Martinez

Stir Patience Autumn Gin with sweet vermouth, a touch of maraschino liqueur and orange bitters over ice, then strain into a chilled coupe. Finish with an expressed orange peel. Elegant and aromatic, with the vermouth bringing autumnal depth and the maraschino adding a subtle dried-fruit richness without making the drink sweet.

Apple Martini

Stir Patience Autumn Gin with a dash of sweet vermouth over ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Finish with a thin slice of fresh apple. Dry, elegant and spirit-forward, with the apple bringing a crisp orchard note to the glass.

Autumn G&T

Serve Patience Autumn Gin over plenty of ice with classic tonic, a slice of fresh apple and a few allspice berries. The tonic lifts the fruit, while the apple and spice bring the warmth of the season into the glass.

Questions worth asking

Why only 100 bottles?

Because beyond that, something is lost. Not just in quality control, but in intention. Every bottle of Patience is numbered by hand, filled by hand, and sent out into the world with full awareness of where it's going. A hundred bottles means we know every batch intimately. It means nothing is rushed, nothing is scaled, nothing is compromised. When your bottle is gone, it's gone — and the next season begins.

What does cold distillation actually mean?

Most gin is distilled at high temperatures, which is efficient but brutal on delicate botanicals. Cold distillation works under reduced pressure, which lowers the boiling point of liquids significantly. This means we can extract the volatile aromatic compounds — the ones that give each botanical its character — without destroying them with heat. The result is a gin that tastes closer to the ingredient itself. Fresher. More alive. More honest.

Why does the season matter?

Each Patience release is built around a feeling — the particular lightness of Spring, the warmth of Summer, the quiet of Winter. The botanicals we choose are selected to evoke that mood precisely. Not to represent the season literally, but to capture its character. This is the gin equivalent of terroir — the idea, borrowed from the greatest wine traditions, that what surrounds a thing, the moment, the hands, the intention, becomes part of what ends up in the glass. Like a great vintage, each expression is unrepeatable. The season passes. The bottle remains.

Why distil every botanical separately?

Because every ingredient has its own personality, and its own demands. Rhubarb is delicate. Lime is volatile. Honeycomb releases its character at a different temperature to sea salt. If you distil them together, you get a compromise — a blended signal where the quieter notes are drowned out by the louder ones. By distilling each botanical alone, we give every ingredient the conditions it needs to express itself fully. The final gin is then a precise blend of individual distillates, each at its best. It takes considerably longer. It is absolutely worth it.
