Black Shuck Gin - White Label Gin

Norfolk's Legendary Spirit 🐺

Black Shuck Gin was created by Patrick and Sarah Saunders in North Norfolk, inspired by the legendary Black Shuck, a ghostly black dog said to roam the region. The family-run business began in 2011 with the creation of Sloe Gin, It was on Boxing Day 2011 that Patrick and Sarah together with Patrick’s father and step-mother, Malcolm and Shirley, settled down to sample each of the 15 different trials to identify the best recipe. During 2013 they once again enlisted the help of family and friends as they began work on a recipe for Black Shuck Gin. The taste test panels have grown significantly in size and organisation since the first taste testing in 2011! It took over two years of recipe development before Patrick and Sarah were completely happy with the results. They launched Black Shuck Gin in 2015. The gin features a unique blend of traditional botanicals, including Norfolk lavender and sea buckthorn, a plant known for its bright orange berries and health benefits.

The brand's distinctive approach has been driven by a passion for Norfolk’s local heritage and ingredients. With the business growing, the Saunders family expanded their offerings to include a variety of spirits like rums, vodkas, and liqueurs. Black Shuck Gin has quickly become a favourite for gin lovers, capturing the essence of Norfolk in every bottle
