FAQs
What does Salford Rhubarb Gin taste like?
Salford Rhubarb Gin is an Old Tom-style gin with tart rhubarb front and centre, backed by classic juniper, citrus, and the subtle earthy depth of willow bark. It's lightly sweetened, smooth and refreshing with a botanical depth rooted in the heritage of industrial Salford.
What is the ABV of Salford Rhubarb Gin?
Salford Rhubarb Gin is 37.5% ABV, distilled in small batches at The Dirty Old Town Distillery in Salford.
What makes Salford Rhubarb Gin different?
It's built on our Original Gin recipe — the same juniper, willow bark, citrus peel and lemon balm — but crafted in an Old Tom style and lightly sweetened with tart rhubarb. The result is a gin that's distinctly Salford in character, with a flavour that's bold and approachable without ever being sickly sweet.
How should I serve Salford Rhubarb Gin?
Best served over plenty of ice with a citrus tonic or ginger ale, garnished with a wedge of orange or lemon. It also works brilliantly in a Rhubarb Collins or a fruity spritz for those who like a longer, sessionable drink.
What is the difference between Rhubarb Gin and Original Dry Gin?
The Rhubarb Gin is made using the same Original Gin recipe but is crafted in an Old Tom style — meaning it's lightly sweetened, with tart rhubarb added for flavour. The Original Dry is an unsweetened London Dry style, drier and more juniper-led at 40% ABV.
Is Salford Rhubarb Gin suitable as a gift?
Yes — the distinctive pink bottle featuring the Dave Draws map of industrial Salford makes it a beautiful and locally meaningful gift, particularly for gin lovers with a connection to Manchester or Salford.
