A very snazzy bottle of The King's Ginger liqueur from Berry Bros. & Rudd, presented at the lower strength of 29.9% ABV. As the story goes, King Edward VII's doctor was concerned about the monarch, and in 1903 asked Berry Bros. & Rudd to create something to warm him – and so the liqueur was born. This is its modern take on the historical tipple! A suitably warming sipper, or a great addition to Scotch whisky cocktails.
A zip of lemon peel, with sweet candied ginger and fiery, drier root ginger on the finish.

My wife and I have just been trying to figure out what’s gone wrong here. We loved the previous version - this new recipe is a disaster. And as others have said - a brilliant liqueur ruined!
If I could give a lower rating I would. Used to gift this to friends from around the world who loved it's uniquely British history and character. Now ruined with the recipe change, meaning no more buys from me. Awful changes, really ruined a fantastic recipe.
OG Kings Ginger tasted of Candied Ginger, this is less sweet and tastes of fresh ginger. I prefer it. Bottle looks great as well.
This used to be phenomenal, now it barely gets touched. Why they decided to change it from the old recipe I don’t know but unfortunately there are no immediate plans to change back. I actually contacted them. The rest of this is going down the sink and I’ll be ordering Giffard’s ‘Ginger of the Indies’. It’s not as good as the old ‘King’s Ginger’ but it’s streets ahead of this. Please bring the old recipe back!
I cannot understand why they changed such a wonderful liqueur. The new taste is awful and I will not be buying anymore.
