Komo's New Bespoke Gin

Delayed by lockdown, but we got there...

When Richard Tye, Finance Director of Komo Cocktail Bar in Guildford, popped into his local Haslemere Gin Festival in June 2019, he was met with the launch of our new Haslemere Gin (developed with our Haslemere Ginfluencers).

A few conversations later and we were supplying our gin to the bar and organised a mini gin experience for Surrey Chambers hosting Surrey Young Professionals. Attendees received a welcome G&T and tasted individually distilled botanicals as well as having a go at making a cocktail with their extremely talented bartenders ...

After a successful evening, we discussed how we could build the partnership further and Richard was keen to host a Ginfluencer event to develop a Komo bespoke gin!

Richard invited his Ginfluencers to Komo's private room in February 2020 where Ian guided the guests to understand, explore and rate a variety of botanicals and make their own gin blends. The results were reviewed and Komo management and bartenders tasted a few candidate blends to determine the final one that would be perfect to serve at the bar for G&T's as well as a base for gin cocktails. And the result was a perfectly balanced citrus and spice combination of orange, grapefruit, ginger, lemongrass and cassia.

The pandemic impacted the bar hard as it had to close it's doors with an uncertain future, but we're pleased that they have come out of the other side and are able to help them celebrate with their own branded gin!
