Based in beautiful and historic Kings Lynn, WhataHoot is owned and operated by Norfolk natives Jason and Nikki Crown. Just a stone’s throw from Sandringham Estate, WhataHoot Distillery was the perfect craft gin producer to craft our May Gin of the Month. 

WhataHoot Hushwing Gin is a crowd pleasing gin with fresh citrus flavours, a gentle warmth from pink peppercorn and a full-bodied mouthfeel from sea samphire. 

Graham McAteer, Craft Gin Club’s Spirits Exert, says, “Hushwing is a superbly balanced gin, perfect for all occasions and celebrations.”

This gin is a beautiful tribute to the Crowns’ native Norfolk. The sea samphire is locally sourced, where this botanical’s name is pronounced ‘sam-fer’. 

As Jason says, “Norfolk has its own vocabulary.” 

This is evidenced in the name of May’s Gin of the Month: ‘hushwing’ is the local parlance for a barn owl. 

“You can see owls early in the morning and hear them late at night in most rural locations of Norfolk,” Jason says, “and we love them.”
