“We’re thrilled to be launching Blackeye Gin. It’s been a journey full of challenges, but a whole lot of fun too!” Tindall said in a statement.
He then pointed to how he and his fellow founders landed the company’s name.
“James, Alex, and I have had various battles along the way — both on and off the pitch — and the name reflects the physical and emotional resilience and kinship we share,” he added. “I think it really captures the essence of what this brand is all about — for those who give their best even when times are hard, and celebrate the good times!”
The gin bottles (£35.95 or about $45) will be available at select UK stores and online atblackeyegin.com.
Tindall is no stranger togiving back to the world of sports. The member of the World Cup-winning squad in 2003, spent the summer of 2020cycling up steep British peakshelping to raise nearly $1 million forCure Parkinson’s– something he supports since his own father’s diagnosis with the condition.
Also, at theMatt Hampson Foundation, which helps young people who have been injured in sport, Tindall is a frank mentor, the charity’s founder told PEOPLE in 2020.
