Launched in 2010, Fifty Pounds Gin "honors" the 50 pound tax that was placed on gin producers in England following the passage of the Gin Act in 1736. During this time, a gin-distilling family who mockingly called themselves "Fifty Pounds" created a gin recipe they locked away.Years later, family' descendants rediscovered the recipe and followed it to produce this gin. Beginning with a neutral grain spirit, eleven botanicals are used including juniper berries, coriander seed, grains of paradise, savory, orange and lemon peel, licorice, and angelica root (the other three botanicals used remain a family secret!) After distillation, the gin is blended with more neutral spirit and proofed with demineralized water before bottling at 43.5% ABV.

Refreshing and crisp, the flavors really pop starting with juniper citrus pine and aniseed with a slight tea flavor. The alcohol really fades into the back even at 43%. Not usually a gin fan but this isn't bad.
Not quite as smooth as some others, but close enough to the Botanist for us! We love this, with strong juniper and a nice fruitiness.
Good, lite on the traditional pine tree gun taste. Had it in a lemony drink reminded me of a filet o fish but the gin part was good.
This would be my go to Gin, if it was a little less expensive. Just a perfect classic London dry.
Juniper, smooth, fruity, spicy, pepper Perfect serve with Goldberg tonic coriander and lavender
Light, but high quality. Would make a wonderful gin & tonic.
