ABOUT US
Gattertop Drinks Co is located in Herefordshire, renowned for its unspoilt countryside and epicurean produce. A childhood spent sampling home-grown orchard fruits at Gattertop was the inspiration behind founder Gemma Standeven’s delicious craft vodka drinks. Benefitting from the abundance of home-grown produce at the historic family farm of Gattertop, Gemma experimented with her recipes until she achieved two extraordinary British craft vodkas that are versatile and full of flavour.
ORCHARD INSPIRED DRINKS
The home of Gattertop Drinks Co is the historical farm of the same name in Herefordshire, which dates back to 1086 and is referred to as Gadredehope in the Domesday Book.
The first orchard inspired creation was Damson No12. Gemma’s award-winning vodka recipe proved exceptionally popular among friends and family and was persuaded to create it in larger quantities. Production increased from litres and demijohns to full-sized barrels, moving from the kitchen to barns at Gattertop. Small batches of home-grown organic damsons are steeped in premium British vodka for a year resulting in the deep and delicious flavour found in the fruit liqueur resulting in Damson No12 winning a two-star Great Taste Award 5 years in a row.
Identifying a gap in the botanical vodka market as an alternative to gin, Gattertop Drinks Co launched Botanic No7 the UK’s first orchard-led botanical vodka. Infused with seven botanicals foraged from the orchards, gardens, and surrounding hedgerows of Gattertop. Botanic No7 is a smooth and subtle British botanical vodka of exceptional taste. The chosen botanicals provide the opportunity for the discovery of new, unusual flavours that sit outside of the juniper base. Released in 2020 Botanic No7 has placed in the top 5 vodkas in the world and was the highest-scoring vodka in England at the IWSC 2021 awards achieving a top score of 96/100. More recently Botanic No7 has also won the silver award at the renowned World Vodka Awards in the UK’s botanical/infused vodka category, further solidifying its place as one of the best-tasting vodkas the UK has to offer.
HOMEGROWN IN HEREFORDSHIRE
At Gattertop Drinks Company we credit our exceptional tasting British craft vodkas to the 100% natural, home-grown, organic ingredients used to flavour our drinks.
Damsons are hand-picked from the historic orchards in the autumn and are steeped for 12 months in premium British vodka to develop the delicate flavours, before being filtered, bottled and labelled by hand at Gattertop, creating the original Damson No12.
Adding to her repertoire of award-winning vodka Gemma introduced Botanic No7 to the world in 2020. Telling the same orchard story, the newly released Botanic No7 champions the natural ingredients that our orchards provide throughout the year. Taking blossoms and flowers from the spring and leaves and herbs from the summer, creating a vodka for all seasons!
Appealing to both vodka and gin drinkers who prefer natural flavours and enjoy a healthier ‘low calorie’ drink. Botanic No7 can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or as a martini. Serve over soda or tonic water for a delicious, fresh and well-balanced drink that encapsulates the essence of an English orchard.
