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.
What a disaster. Total madness to stop the old recipe. Total madness by all means have both. But bring back the original. Can you imagine how the Kin might have responded?
Really disappointed with the change. Go back to the original.
For God's sake bring the original recipe back. There are two people I would have sent this to as a gift today but the fact that it is not the King's Ginger I remember prevented me from doing so.
What possessed them to make this change? Surely some market research would’ve prevented this disaster! Hopefully, the massive drop in sales that this change will cause will will result in a reversal of this bad decision.
We are almost out of the original and tried the new version and I think most of you are wrong giving it one star. It's not worth that.
