Tamar Tipple Blackberry & Elderflower Gin Liqueur

Our limited edition Tamara - Blackberry and Elderflower Gin Liqueur was produced to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Tamar Valley Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The humble blackberry that is a little jewel of our hedgerows, offers depth which is complemented by a subtle hint of elderflower producing this wonderful, well rounded flavoured gin. It’s delicious on its own, but is just gorgeous served in a glass of bubbly or with some chilled lemonade..

How this unique gin liqueur come to life

We were approached by the Tamar Valley Area of Natural and asked if we could produce a liqueur reminiscent of the Tamar Valley. We could think of nothing more fitting than the humble blackberry so prolific in our hedgerows. To enhance the flavour, our mixologist Cliff added a little elderflower as a slightly floral background. The result - a rounded flavour with the depth of the blackberry and a hint of elderflower in the background.

The name Tamara was chosen in honour of a Dartmoor Legend. Tamara was a water nymph loved by giants called Tavy and Torridge. Eventually, Tamara’s father angrily cast a spell and turned her into a stream for defying him. The stream flowed from Dartmoor to Plymouth and became the Tamar. Both giants were also turned into rivers - Tavy flowed over Dartmoor and eventually joined Tamar but Torridge lost his way and ended up flowing Northwoods toward Bideford. This is the potted version of the origin of Tamara. Find out more about the Legendary Dartmoor.
