This London Dry-style gin is produced in small batches in London, drawing directly on traditional methods and a classic botanical structure. Distilled using a neutral grain spirit, it follows a carefully controlled process where botanicals are steeped and distilled together, ensuring a balanced extraction. The name references the historical £50 distillation tax introduced in 1736, anchoring the brand firmly in gin's Georgian-era heritage. Its botanical composition remains within the traditional spectrum - juniper-led, supported by citrus peel, spice, and subtle herbal elements - without pushing into the more experimental profiles seen in contemporary craft gins. This positions it as a modern interpretation of a classic London Dry: precise, restrained, and versatile. In the market, it appeals to drinkers and bartenders seeking a reliable, structured gin that performs consistently across classic cocktails. Rather than novelty, the emphasis is on authenticity and balance, aligning it closely with the revival of interest in historically grounded gin styles.
