Fifty Pounds Gin 70cl
£37.79
Fifty Pounds Gin gets its name from the 1736 gin act when a 50 pound tax was levied on those wishing to produce and sell gin. It is produced in a small and legendary distillery located in the south-east of London and looks as good as it taste.
Made in batches of around 1000 bottles at a time, Fifty Pounds Gin is a London Dry Gin through and through. At 43.5% the aroma is classic with lemon and piney juniper coming to the fore. To taste, Fifty Pounds Gin is more assertive – Juniper is followed by coriander, rounded citrus and angelica.
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.
The specialist traditional methods employed in the creation of this superior gin means that production is limited, obtaining approximately one thousand bottles from each batch.
Each bottle of Fifty Pounds Gin is presented in an exclusive bottle, with a design inspired by the first gin bottles, known as case gin. Each bottle bears the individual distillation batch number, together with the year that it was distilled.
