History and production of Gin Lane 1751 London Dry Gin:

The Gin Lane 1751 company has set itself the goal of producing gins with the taste and aroma profile of the 18th and 19th centuries and of bringing almost forgotten gin variations back to life.

When William III of Orange ascended to the throne in 1689, gin quickly became the number one popular drink in England. Widely legal and not subject to any controls or regulations, almost one in four households in England produced their own gin. Inferior liquor with a juniper flavor was produced in pots, pans and even bathtubs. At peak times, every Briton consumed more than 10 liters of juniper liquor a year. This had disastrous consequences for the economic and social development of England.

The Gin Act 1751 was finally intended to put a stop to the unbridled consumption of alcohol. Gin was subject to high taxes and distillers had to acquire a license in order to continue distilling gin.

In the second half of the 18th century, gin consumption gradually declined and quality improved noticeably. The Gin Act 1751 can therefore be seen as the birth of the juniper brandy that is so popular today.

The Gin Lane 1751 London Dry Gin is a gin whose aromatic and flavor composition is based on the gins that were common at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries. On the one hand, there are the very intense juniper notes that characterize all Gin Lane 1751 gins. On the other hand, the use of liquorice roots brings in the traditional liquorice flavor that was common in the past. In addition, fresh lemon peels provide the necessary fruitiness and harmony.

The Gin Lane 1751 London Dry Gin is ideal for classic cocktails and mixed drinks of the time.
