Our Story
The journey of a gin lover
The story of Cantium Gin started in 2018. MMXVIII We wanted to create a small batch, locally produced Gin that looks and tastes great, using Kent inspired botanicals. Another consideration was packaging and the environment.
Cantium is the Roman name for Kent, where Cantium HQ is based and the logo is inspired by the design of a Roman mosaic tile found in Lullingstone Villa, just a few miles away. www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/lullingstone-roman-villa
Cantium contains locally sourced botanicals including Lavender, Cobnuts, Apples, Blackberry and Hops, as well as roasted Kentish Chestnuts, to give it a truly distinct flavour. Our bottle not only looks great, but also has a secondary use as a reusable flask, so once you’ve enjoyed your Cantium you can reuse it to keep drinks Hot or Cold for hours. The same thermos materials are used in our Cantium Cup which keeps the ice frozen for longer. Not that your tasty Cantium Gin drink will last that long but who likes to be rushed?
Later we will be introducing a bottle-recycling scheme where you can return them to us in exchange for a discount against your next purchase, and we will donate the cleaned flask to charities like Warming Up The Homeless www.wuth.org. We also encourage our customers to donate their bottles directly to a homeless charity of their choice or simply post it to WUTH
We work with the brilliant team at Warming Up The Homeless by donating new and used Flasks and Thermo cups. These guys do incredible work helping the homeless in the Sussex area. Do you have a few too many Cantium Flasks?
Then send those over to https://wuth.org/ where they are greatly needed. Alternatively, donate to your own local homeless charity.
Solomon’s knot (Latin: sigillum Salomonis, literally ‘Solomon’s seal’) is a traditional decorative motif used since ancient times, and found in many cultures. Despite the name, it is classified as a link, and is not a true knot according to the definitions of mathematical knot theory.
Since the knot has been used across a number of cultures and historical eras, it can be given a range of symbolic interpretations.
Because there is no visible beginning or ending, it may represent immortality and eternity.
