Quince Liqueur wins 2008 Quality Drink Award

Quince Liqueur wins 2008 Quality Drink Award

Quince Liqueur is one of only a handfull of drinks in the country to win a 2008 Quality Drink Award.

Now in their third year the awards recognise and reward excellence and innovation in the world of alcoholic drinks on sale in the UK. Judged by an independent panel of industry experts, the judging criteria are based on taste, aroma, appearance & presentation, packaging, value and innovation.

"It's a good after dinner liqueur. Its sweet and not very harsh and easy drinking," said one judge. "It has aromas of dates and figs, a home grown version of a desert wine," said another.

We were nominated in the Local Drink category - restricted to UK produced products with labelling that makes reference to local content. The competition was stiff and we are delighted the judges views agreed with judges from the 2007 Taste of the West Food and Drink awards where, last November, Quince Liqueur was also voted 'Best Drink'. Also shortlisted for an award was our Sloe Gin.

More information can be found at the Quality Drink Awards website.

Welcome to our website.

At Bramley and Gage we started making liqueurs over 20 years ago on our fruit farm in South Devon. The lessons learnt in growing fruit still guide our production today, from letting it ripen fully and naturally on the bush, to using only the varieties that give the best flavour.

We still make all the products ourselves, by hand. We use only real, whole, fruit, sourced as locally as possible. The production process ensures that as much of the natural flavour, freshness, and colour of the fruit as possible is retained, together with the maximum amount of naturally occurring vitamins.

There are no added colourings or preservatives in our Fruit Liqueurs, Gins or Brandy.

Award wining Sloe Gin

Our Sloe Gin is hand made in the traditional way, in small batches, using hand picked, wild, hedgerow sloes. We are often asked whose gin we use and the answer is that we make our own using amongst other ingredients juniper, cardomom and coriander.

The intense dry flavour of this traditional classic can only be achieved by using a high sloe to gin ratio, moderate sugar, then patiently and slowly maturing to produce a drink where the fruit is the predominant flavour.

A countryside favourite and hip flask filler, Sloe Gin is wonderfully warming drunk neat and widely enjoyed as an essential cocktail ingredient. For cocktail ideas click on Cocktail Recipes to the left.

Quince Liqueur 35cl.

Quince Liqueur 35cl.

£11.64

The fruit used in our Quince Liqueur is the Cydonia Oblonga or European Quince and not the chaenomeles or Japonica, which although making excellent jelly makes rather too acid a liqueur. The large, yellow and fragrant fruit is a relative of the pear. The variety we like to use is 'Vranga' but it is not always available and we have to pick our quinces where we can find them.

Quince Liqueur is one of only 17 drinks in the country to win a 2008 Quality Drinks Award. Now in their third year the awards recognise and reward excellence and innovation in the world of alcoholic drinks on sale in the UK. Judged by an independent panel of industry experts, the judging criteria are based on taste, aroma, appearance & presentation, packaging, value and innovation.

Strawberry Liqueur 35cl.

Strawberry Liqueur 35cl.

£11.64

The Strawberry Liqueur is rather sweeter than the other fruit liqueurs, because strawberries are naturally a sweeter fruit. It is splendid poured over pancakes, or over the sponge in a trifle, and if you take a galia melon, cut it in half, and fill the middles with strawberry liqueur and perhaps a little sugar, with a garnish of rose petals or mint leaves, you have a very impressive pud for very little effort!

Dittisham Plum Liqueur 35cl.

Dittisham Plum Liqueur 35cl.

£11.64

This liqueur is made from the very special fruit known as the Dittisham Plum. It is a species plum and is grown in the sheltered Dart valley village, which gives it its name. On one point the many legends surrounding the arrival of these plums agree. They arrived by sea. The ship's captain dumped his cargo as he had been unable to sell it and the thrifty villagers took the plums in and gave them a good home. The orchards became famous in their day and people made special expeditions from as far away as Plymouth and Exeter (a long way by horse and cart!), to get their annual supply. The season is very short, rarely lasting more than 10 days.
