Fifty Pounds London Dry Gin 43.5%

Wine information: Fifty Pounds London Dry Gin is a hand-crafted small batch premium gin that was originally created by Thames Distillers for the Spanish market. It has recently been launched on the UK market. In 1736, during the reign of George II of England, an annual levy of 50 pounds, known as the 1736 Gin Act, was imposed on those wishing to produce and sell gin. Only two distilleries agreed to pay this tax! Fifty Pounds Gin is produced in a small and legendary distillery located in the south-east of London, with a tradition of more than two centuries behind it. The method is carried out in a still manufactured by the legendary John Dore & Co Limited, in which a perfectly balanced, secret combination of herbs, spices, fruits and flowers, together with grain spirit (a neutral alcohol, previously distilled four times to achieve a greater purity) is distilled. It is a special blend of herbs, spices, fruits and flowers including juniper berries, coriander seed, grains of paradise, savory, orange and lemon peel, liquorice and eangelica root. It is perfectly balanced with de-mineralised pure spring water and four times distilled grain spirit alcohol. Fifty Pounds Gin is distilled in single batches and produced in small quantities in order to preserve its quality. A strikingly smooth small batch distilled classic London Dry Gin. Presented in a very stylish tapered green bottle, each bottle bears the individual distillation batch number, together with the year it was distilled.
