This is fifty... Fifty Pounds gin is distilled in small quantities, and in single batches. The name comes from the time of George II and the 1736 Gin Act, when a 50 pound tax was levied on those wishing to produce and sell gin. Only two distilleries agreed to pay the tax!
Soft, slightly subdued aromas of violet, juniper and hints of spice.
Citrus-like flavours with a good core of juniper. Tangy, slightly floral too.
Herbal, citrus-led finish.
Just bought this gin at a duty free shop in Colombia, I think it is a very smooth gin, easy to mix with premium mixers like Fentigans.
Pretty enjoyable on the rocks and slice of lemon.
A crisp, clean, classic London dry nose. Slightly earthy with a lovely complexity of juniper and lime peel with an almost minty freshness and a pleasant balancing sweetness. The palate is soft and slightly lactose in character with juniper, lemon/lime. A short but intense burst of alcohol follows with the more herbal botanicals evident on the finish. The palate, although pleasant is not as interesting neat as the nose.
