Our story at Rutland Square Spirits began in 2017, fuelled by a passion for crafting a gin that would redefine the spirit-drinking experience. The journey led us deep into the world of tea—a pursuit to find the perfect botanical that would elevate gin beyond the ordinary.
We sourced and sampled over 100 different tea variants, searching for the one that would bring depth, complexity, and character to our spirit. The answer? Oolong—one of the most exquisite and expensive teas money can buy. But there was a challenge: Oolong is not traditionally grown in Dibrugarh, Assam, a region famed for its robust black teas.
Determined to craft something truly unique, we started procuring Oolong from select vendors in Assam. However, to ensure the highest quality and sustainability, we took the bold step of growing our own Oolong tea—a first-of-its-kind effort in the region. Over time, we cultivated and perfected the tea, working closely with expert growers to develop a flavour profile that would complement the botanical alchemy of gin.
By 2020, after years of refinement, our Chai Spiced Gin was perfected, and Rutland Square Gin was born. A spirit that embodies craftsmanship, heritage, and a truly one-of-a-kind flavour journey.
A Journey of Taste & Tea in Every Sip
On the nose, expect bright orange zest, setting the stage for the complexity that follows.
The first sip unveils a deep yet delicate balance of strong Oolong and juniper, followed by a cascade of sweet, luxurious spice notes.
When paired with Ginger Ale, the gin unfolds into a rich, earthy experience, with zesty citrus and juniper layering beautifully.
When served with a classic Indian Tonic, the drink transforms—juniper greets you first, followed by Oolong, cardamom, cinnamon, and warming spices, creating an elegant and complex finish.
Perfect for pairing with a cheese board, afternoon tea sandwiches, scones, and even a well-seasoned steak, Rutland Square Chai Spiced Gin is an experience in every glass, a spirit that tells a story—one that began in Assam, journeyed through Edinburgh, and now finds its way to connoisseurs across the world.
