Is that Blackwell as in Chris Blackwell?

It is indeed, formerly of the Goldeneye estate and founder of Island Records. Although I believe it’s produced and bottled by Wray & Nephew.

Spent a few weeks of my youth in Peru in a city called Arequipa. Many bars there serve hot gin on their menus. No marmelade though and I think it wasn't mixed with water - just hot gin.

You could also get "Gin con Gin", which seemed to be just an extra big portion of gin.

Musing on what spirits you can drink warm : the ubiquitous hot toddy of course, I've had sloe gin warm which was nice, sake, which apparently shouldn't be drunk warm, but I've had it and it wasn't disagreeable in the slightest. If you include wine there's mulled wine.

Other recommendations welcome.

Hellish expensive these alcohol free drinks. Brilliant idea, especially for people like me who get hangovers that last a week, but the price is hardly encouraging.

We've had their gin and it was very tidy, been toying with buying their single malt but English whiskey just seems a bit weird.
