Bulldog

 Region: United Kingdom


 Style : London dry gin
 Aromatics :
almond,angelica,cassia,coriander,lavender,lemon,licorice,Longan,lotus
leaves ,orris root ,poppy
 Alcohol by content : 40%vol
 Flavours : Juniper,heat,lavender,ctrus zest
Why so special??
 The Longan (or more dramatically Dragon Eye) is a small fruit similar to a
Lychee native to Southeastern Asia. Believes to have a relaxing character
in traditional medicine, it’s also common in modern Asian cuisine in soups
and desserts. Lotus Leaves are another traditional medicine said to keep
one’s heart healthy. The leaves are often drank as if a tea. And then there’s
Poppy. More than just a bagel topping, it has healing abilities as well.
 While many brands might double down on the botanicals’ Asian
provenance, Bulldog Gin instead cloaks it all in austerity and defiance. The
Bulldog is an icon of British determination, and at times was used to
describe Winston Churchill himself .
 Cocktail Choose : Tom Collins, Dirty Martini
Beefeater Gin

 Region: United Kingdom


 Style : London dry gin
 Aromatics : Almond,coriander,juniper,licorice,orange,lemon,orris root
 Alcohol by content : 47%vol
 Flavours:juniper,citrus,heat, spice
Why special??
 When James Burrough bought out the Cale Street Distillery in Chelesea in
the 1860’s, he essentially bought forty years. That is, he bought a date that
now preceded the launch of Charles Tanqueray’s eponymous gin; putting
Burrough’s spirits in rareified Regency Era territory, earning a historicity more
akin to Gordon’s than Seagram’s. Though the gin bottle says 1820, the
Beefeater Gin recipe we know today is an 1860’s creation.
 The nose is classically London Dry and classic styles with pine forward
juniper and a touch of light citrus zest. A close nose will pick up on just this
slight touch of sweet licorice hidden in the back as well. But certainly, don’t
get hung up on these others words and notes. It’s really all about the
juniper.
 Coocktail choose : Martini(5:2) and Negroni.
