Happy World Gin Day!

Today is officially World Gin Day, and we're celebrating the enduring joy of the juniper berry, and the formidable spirit it helps to create.

And because we're never ones to shy away from a shindig, we’re delving into our eclectic collection of extraordinary gins from every corner of the globe — including our very own comprehensive ranges of Fortnum's label gins.

But that’s not all, because something very exciting recently took up residence on our 3rd Floor at Fortnum’s: our brand new distillery.

Gleaming in polished copper, the distillery is called Amalthea, named after the goat who fed the infant Zeus. According to the myth, the young Zeus accidentally broke Amalthea's horn, and from then on the horn would always be filled with whatever its owner desired. Talk about an apt name for something that produces wonderful liquid (almost) around the clock.

And while we can’t quite promise everything you desire can be crafted in our Amalthea, what we do create are two exquisite gins in store: our traditional London Dry and Pink Gin. So if you’re gin the mood for something extraordinary to celebrate World Gin Day with, Fortnum’s is your destination.
