Beefeater London Dry Gin
James Burrough’s original recipe book dated 1895 specifies that nine botanicals are essential in creating the full-bodied and robust flavour of Beefeater.
Unlike any other premium gin, Beefeater’s recipe still involves steeping the peel of lemons and Seville oranges, whole juniper berries, angelica and coriander seed, ground almonds and other natural botanicals for 24 hours prior to distillation - resulting in a bold, refreshing and perfectly balanced flavour.
This method of steeping and distilling devised by James Burrough in the 1860s, along with the secret recipe he created, is to this day still used virtually unchanged. Today, Beefeater is the only international premium gin still distilled in London, at its distillery in Kennington, on the south bank of the river Thames. |
