Tasting Notes

Nose

Rosemary and grapefruit — camphor notes, the PX sherry cask adding velvety warmth, classic gin aromatics with barrel depth

Palate

Bright, clean, crisp — classic juniper character, lemon and bergamot citrus, the 30-day PX ageing adding chamomile softness and oak spice without overwhelming, a Victorian recipe enhanced by sherry wood

Finish

Lemon, chamomile, soft oak spice — the Pedro Ximénez sherry cask's velvety smoothness lingering, gentle warmth, a lasting impression of refinement from London's oldest gin house

Expert Review

7/10

London's original gin since 1740 — the Booth family had ties to wine going back two centuries before that. Aged for approximately 30 days in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, adding velvety smoothness and gentle oak spice without overpowering the gin. The Clerkenwell distillery's proud red lion endures.
