Fifty Pounds Gin Miniatures 0.05L 43.5%
In the early 18th century, London experienced the beginning of the so-called "Gin Craze," a period when gin was extremely popular, especially among the lower classes. This led to many illegal distilleries producing and selling inferior gin. To counteract this, the government introduced a tax of £50 for every gin distiller in 1736 – a plan that ultimately failed. After six years, only two companies had paid the levy.
Fifty Pounds London Dry Gin 0.05L 43.5%, stylishly presented in a vintage bottle and produced by Thames Distillers in southeast London, commemorates this futile attempt to control excessive gin consumption in London. This gin impresses with its smooth texture on the palate, as well as its citrus notes and floral aromas.
