Distillation and production

Production method

Base spirit from grain, distilled multiple times; botanicals are macerated in the spirit for at least two days and the blend is then slowly redistilled in a traditional pot still (John Dore) following a batch process.

Distillation

Batch process: botanicals macerated for at least 48 hours followed by slow distillation in a traditional pot still (John Dore); base spirit distilled multiple times.

Ageing

The London Dry is not aged; however there is a limited-edition "Cask at the Back" which is matured in oak casks.

Producer history Fifty Pounds

The name refers to the Gin Act of 1736, which imposed a tax of fifty pounds. According to official sources, the recipe associated with the name draws on historical London recipes and the brand is produced by Thames Distillers, a long-established distiller in southwest London. The presentation and packaging recall historic "case gin" bottles and some batches carry the batch number on the bottle.

Production philosophy

The project aims to evoke the methods and style of London gin tradition through small-batch production, attention to the quality of the base spirit and selective use of botanicals to achieve a classic, balanced profile.

Territory

Produced and bottled in London (southwest), United Kingdom.
