First a pub, now his own gin - James May branches out
TV presenter launches own tipple with an unusual ingredient!
Former Top Gear host James May, who lives in Ansty, has launched his very own gin.
He already owns 'half a pub' The Royal Oak at Swallowcliffe, and says he suddenly thought 'what if I created my own gin to serve to customers?'
Thanks to help from Downton Distillery's Hugh Anderson 'James Gin' was born.
His first offering was a limited edition Asian Parsnip gin which is inspired by his love of travel and the English countryside and has an unusual botanical of parsnip!
James has now produced a second batch although this one won't be signed by him!
