Fifty Pounds Gin (75cl, 43.5%)

A London dry gin produced in small batches by Thames Distillers in London under master distiller Charles Maxwell. It is batch-distilled in a John Dore pot still from a base spirit distilled four times, with botanicals steeped before a single careful run of which only the heart is kept. The named botanicals are juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, savory, liquorice powder, lemon peel, bitter orange peel and grains of paradise. The nose is soft with violet, juniper and spice, the palate is citrus-led over a juniper core with tangy, slightly floral character and gentle pepper warmth from grains of paradise, and the finish is herbal and citrus-led.
