The Coronation Gin

We’re inspired by 200 years of London distilling history, and so we hold time-honoured traditions close to our hearts. In addition to bringing small-batch gin production back to the capital, we’ve continued to draw inspiration from centuries-old recipes. That’s why we’re honouring this historic moment with a gin that’s fit for a king.

Just as Old Tom once filled gin palaces at the height of the 1700s gin craze, we invite you to sip The Coronation Gin in your very own palace. We’ve taken this slightly sweet style of gin and – as tradition dictates – allowed it to lightly age in barrels. As a tip of the crown to King Charles III, we selected Laphroaig whisky casks (which happens to be one of His Majesty’s favourite tipples) especially for this purpose.

Having allowed rosehip and cardamom to macerate overnight in the still, we add chamomile and orange peel the following morning before resting the liquid in a cask for two weeks. Pour 50ml The Coronation Gin into a highball glass that’s filled with ice, top with Indian tonic water and garnish with a lemon twist to make a regal gin and tonic – we think his mum would have approved.
