Shortly after the Gin Act 1736 a family of independent London Distillers came up with an original gin recipe, known ironically amongst themselves as ‘Fifty Pounds’ in honour of the Gin Act levy, which was characterised by its particular smoothness and flavour. The recipe remained hidden for generations, until the descendants of those pioneering master distillers rescued it from oblivion and re-discovered its extraordinary qualities.
This special Gin is left to settle for no less than three weeks, allowing the botanical essential oils of juniper berries, coriander seed, grains of paradise, savory, orange and lemon peel, liquorice and angelica root to blend perfectly with the grain spirit. Whether neat, with tonic, or in a dry martini, Fifty Pounds gin offers a unique and complex personality.
