The spirit features herbs from the Minster's park along with York Minster rose petals and leaves from the Artemisia arborescens tree in the Minster’s Dean’s Park.

The creamy white petals provide a floral nod to the Minster’s Rose Window - originally constructed over five centuries ago.

Natalie Hall, director of York Gin owner York Drinks, said: “We’re so happy that lovers of York Minster across the country can now enjoy a real taste of its garden.

"And it’s fantastic that a proportion of the sale of each bottle goes towards the upkeep of the Minster.”
