Perkins & Sons Sugar Cane Gin
Perkins & Sons spirits are all distilled from molasses by traditional Bajan processes.
Our award-winning gin starts as 97% molasses ethanol which is proofed back to 48% before 48-hour maceration and long (12 hour) distillation.
Centuries ago we perfected molasses distillation in Barbados and its smoothness is evident in all of our expressions.
Grapefruit Lemongrass
Grapefruit was first documented in Barbados in 1750 as the ‘Forbidden Fruit’; Lemongrass is native to many tropical climates.
​
Combined in this Gin they uniquely excite the nose and palate. Far from forbidden, this gin beautifully represents the character of our tropical island home.

Hibiscus Sorrel
Few drinks mark the Barbadian spirit of celebration like traditional Sorrel.
​
Our festive Hibiscus-Sorrel Sugar-Cane gin starts with a traditional juniper and citrus base, which is then infused with our artisanal Sorrel, Rosa-Sinensis Hibiscus flowers and nutmeg to create a sweet, aromatic gin that is best served over ice with maybe a splash of soda.
As a bright daytime drink, this gin would be hard to beat.

Gold Coast
Our Gold Coast gin is not only another new, exciting and tasty distillation to be enjoyed with your favourite mixer, but also the perfect souvenir to remember our beautifully clear ocean surf dancing on our eighty pristine golden beaches. Give the bottle a gentle shake to see the gold flakes dance!

1808 PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE ON THE DISTILLATION OF SUGAR AND MOLASSES
Lord Binning in the Chair; London Distiller Mr. John Bocket Called and Examined by the Committee:
“Do you know whether it is practical to produce Gin from Molasses?"
"I believe very good Gin may be made from Molasses Spirit certainly."
"Can you make as good Gin from Molasses as from Corn?"
"Molasses Gin gives universal satisfaction.”
Pineapple
Due to its exotic nature, Pineapple became a symbol of affluence and hospitality in the English New World and Europe, with carvings of the fruit often displayed on front doors and gate posts as symbols of welcome to travelling strangers.
Pineapple’s sweet-tart flavour makes this gin a great experience chilled, on ice or with a light mixer like sparkling water or unsweetened tonic water.
