Its name refers to the £50 licence imposed by the 1736 Gin Act, linking the bottle to one of the most turbulent episodes in the city's distilling history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA neutral grain spirit is redistilled in small batches with eleven botanicals sourced across four continents. Juniper, coriander, citrus peel, grains of paradise, savoury, liquorice and angelica root form the core; only the heart of the distillation is retained before triple filtration and bottling at 43.5% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal clear and colourless, with a clean, gently viscous texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuniper leads, followed by lemon and orange peel, coriander seed and a discreet herbal-earthy note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry, smooth and layered, with piney juniper, bright citrus and peppery spice in balance. Angelica and liquorice add depth before a crisp, warming and lightly astringent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eServing suggestions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a classic gin and tonic, use a fine-bubble tonic and a strip of lemon peel. Its structure also suits a very dry Martini, a White Lady or a restrained Negroni in which the gin remains clearly defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBackground story\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe historical reference extends to the presentation, which draws on old gin-case bottles rather than overtly contemporary design. Each batch is identified on the label, reinforcing the small-batch character of the production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the heritage cues, Fifty Pounds is designed as a modern working London Dry: aromatic enough to stand in a short cocktail, sufficiently robust for tonic and balanced enough to serve simply over ice. The 43.5% bottling strength preserves botanical clarity without excessive heat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fifty Pounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32017580359740,"sku":"XXFIFTYGIN","price":54.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/fifty-pounds-gin-70cl-0-standardised-600x960.png?v=1791378375","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/fifty-pounds-gin","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
