# Clotted Cream Gins The Wrecking Coast Distillery Launched a Richly Flavored Gin Made with Cream By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-10-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrecking-coast References: [thespiritsbusiness](https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2016/06/distillery-launches-cornish-clotted-cream-gin/) The Wrecking Coast Distillery, based in Tintagel, Cornwall, offers a unique 'Cornish Clotted Cream Gin,' that's also made with spring water from the area and a carefully selected range of botanicals. It's reported that the gin is created with the use of "a hand-blown glass vacuum still, the iStill, which distills neutral spirit and fresh clotted cream, resulting in a clear gin" that maintains the rich flavor of the cream. Ensuring that these various flavors were featured in the end product was a difficult feat for the manufacturers to achieve, as even a slight rise in temperature can cause the cream to separate and the notes to change. The Wrecking Coast Distillery's Cornish Clotted Cream Gin comes packaged in a minimalist bottle, which features an elegant black and white label on the front, gold branding, and a wooden cap. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Indulgent Spirits:** There is a growing trend towards creating spirits with rich and indulgent flavors, such as the use of clotted cream in gin. - **Vacuum Distilling:** The use of a hand-blown glass vacuum still for distilling neutral spirit and fresh clotted cream presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the spirits industry. - **Localized Botanicals:** The inclusion of botanicals sourced from the Tintagel area in the Cornish Clotted Cream Gin highlights the trend towards using locally sourced ingredients in spirits production. ### Who This Affects Most - **Craft Distilleries:** The growing demand for unique and indulgent spirits presents an opportunity for craft distilleries to experiment with flavors and production techniques like vacuum distilling. - **Luxury Spirits:** The use of premium ingredients such as clotted cream and locally sourced botanicals in spirits production is a disruptive innovation in the luxury spirits industry. - **Local Spirits:** The trend towards using locally sourced ingredients, such as the Tintagel spring water and botanicals, presents opportunities for local distilleries to showcase the unique flavors of their area. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extra-Thick British Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clotted-cream-ice-cream.md) - [Savory Crayfish Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayfish-gin.md) - [Salty Seaside-Inspired Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hendricks.md) - [Creamy Butter Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-gin.md) - [Local Cornish Cow Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornish-double-cream.md) - [Collaboration Italian Cocktail Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-negroni-gin.md) - [Cornwall-Inspired Dairy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trewithen-dairy-products.md) - [Regeneratively Farmed Clotted Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dorset-clotted-cream.md) - [Black Cherry-Infused Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarquin.md)
