Fifty Pounds Gin

Appearance

Clear and colourless with a slight “spirit tail” visible along the glass, showcasing its refined purity.

Nose

Classic London dry gin profile with dominant juniper aromas accompanied by bright citrus notes from lemon and lime. Hints of coriander and a subtle herbal touch add depth to its aroma, enhancing its character without overpowering the main botanicals.

Palate

Fifty Pounds Gin offers a smooth, layered profile with juniper at the forefront, followed by a gentle unfolding of lemon, coriander, and earthy undertones from angelica root. A hint of liquorice and spice adds complexity, leading to a crisp, clean finish with a touch of heat and slight astringency that’s refreshing and well-balanced.

About

Fifty Pounds Gin is crafted in the heart of London by Thames Distillers, drawing inspiration from the 1736 Gin Act, which imposed a hefty £50 license fee to control gin production—a nod to gin’s rich and tumultuous history in England. This small-batch gin is produced using traditional “Batch Process Distillation” to ensure premium quality. The botanicals, sourced from four continents, include Croatian juniper, Spanish citrus peels, Middle Eastern coriander, and Grains of Paradise from Africa, creating a balanced blend of herbal, citrus, and spicy notes.

Fifty Pounds Gin undergoes careful distillation using only the “heart” of the distillate to maintain purity and is triple-filtered for an exceptionally smooth finish. With a 43.5% ABV, it is designed to shine in both classic G&Ts and sophisticated cocktails like martinis, embodying the essence of a classic London dry gin with a modern twist on heritage.
