Take A Look At Our Menu
At Tin of Sardines Durham, we serve a huge amount of gins, have an excellent cocktail menu and offer plenty of other drinks, too. Here’s a small selection of the unique drinks we have available.
Classic & Old Tom Gin
Agnes Arber
A convergence of nine herbs and fruits, distilled together in the same pot. The Savoury, earthy notes of juniper, coriander, and angelica are complemented by the warm, spicy undertones of cassia.
Engine Gin (42.0%)
This organic Italian gin features juniper berries, lemon and sage among its botanicals. It is aromatic and bittersweet, and pairs very well with light tonic and zesty lemon.
Hayman's Old Tom (41.4%)
This delicious gin is rich, rounded and versatile in flavour with a beautiful delicate finish..
Jawbox Belfast Cut (43.0%)
Jawbox is an impressive experience of bold juniper and pine. While balanced with a gentle touch of sweet coriander and clean citrus. More complex on the palate, citrus and juniper develop into peppery, earthy Angelica root.
Floral & Fragrant Gin
Warner Edward's Elderflower (40.0%)
This nicely balanced gin is bright and fresh. Expect lovely soft floral elderflower with hints of lychees and some more subtle Juniper.
Bloom (40.0%)
The name ‘Bloom’ is in recognition of the gin’s floral nature. It’s sweet and floral with honeysuckle and citrus notes.
Silent Pool (43.0%)
Violet, lavender and lime leaf bring floral aromatics to the nose, while cardamom and juniper give it a spicy feel.
Hoxton Gunpowder & Rosehip (40.0%)
There’s a lovely mixture of floral character of roses backed by the firm tannin of tea.
Other Good Things
Kokoro Gin
A London Dry Gin with a distinctive Japanese heart, distilled with eight botanicals and fresh sansho berries.
Monkey 47
47 botanicals feature in this special gin which comes from the Black Forest. The handpicked ingredients, prepared in extremely soft spring water give a complexity and quality to Monkey 47.

A wonderfully sweet and fruity gin liqueur with wild peach and summer fruits.
