Fifty Pounds Gin

43.5% | 70.0cl

During the reign of George II in England, 1736, the King issued an annual tax of fifty pounds to all those who wished to produce and sell gin. The levy was introduced to counteract the uncontrolled consumption of gin also known as the “gin craze” which caused a massive degradation of society. Only 2 distilleries ever agreed to pay the full fifty pounds… Either way, it gave these guys a pretty good name for their gin.

Tasting Note

A distinctive blend of liquorice, orange and lemon peel, coriander and savory herb gives Fifty Pounds its refreshing minty freshness and hedgerow character — a classic London Dry with real personality.
