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.
I honestly loved the kings ginger n it’s original form , I bought it regularly . Then they changed it ? It’s awful ! I ordered 2 bottles as thought it was just a change of bottle , it’s undrinkable ?
Vile, acrid, nasty synthetic lemon taste. Not a patch on the original king's ginger, which is glorious.
I have been drinking King’s Ginger for over ten years. I fear I will not be able to drink it any longer. I have half a bottle left of the proper drink. How sad.
Loved the original, saw it reduced at Christmas and would have stocked up had I realised it was due to being an end of line product. This is a very poor replacement and I can only hope BBR reverse their decision and return to the original ASAP. We love this in the winter neat or a dash in mulled wine. In the summer it makes a lovely long drink. The new version is a success only of style over substance - a beautiful description is the best thing about it. Please bring the original back.
The "old" Kings Ginger in the black bottle was simply superb. This new version is simply awful. I just sent three bottles back.
