Agnes Arber Gin

Agnes Arber Gin. On 24 May 1948, Agnes Arber became the first woman to receive the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society, a world-famous institution dedicated to the study of natural history. Born in 1879, Arber achieved excellent academic results throughout her youth, and quickly became an historian of botany under the wing of her mentor, plant morphologist Ethel Sargent. By the time of her death in 1960, Arber had published an extensive library of books on both botany and philosophy. To honor her this quite stunning gin features a garden of brilliant botanicals. Nine in total, including angelica, cassia, coriander, grapefruit, iris, juniper, lemon, liquorice and orange were distilled together to create this marvellous concoction.
