Co-founder of Spirit of Harrogate, Marcus Black said: “It’s a dream come true for us to bring Slingsby to millions of TV screens.

"Our loyal fan base mean so much to us and without your support we wouldn’t be the number one choice for Rhubarb Gin – so thank you so much for supporting us, especially in what has been a really difficult year.

Multi award-winning Slingsby Yorkshire Rhubarb Gin began life as a development gin in the brand’s store and experience in Harrogate.

From the beginning its vision has been to capture the essence of Harrogate in a bottle, drawing on the town’s natural assets.

Made using locally sourced botanicals, Slingsby took their classic London Dry and masterfully infused this with the finest Yorkshire rhubarb sourced from the famous 'Rhubarb Triangle'.

These unique ingredients are complemented with water drawn from the world-famous Harrogate aquifer, pure single grain spirit, and a handful of the finest ingredients sourced from around the world.
