Its name pays homage to the 1736 Gin Act, which sought to regulate gin production by introducing a ¬£50 tax on distillers—a nod to the rich history of gin in London. Using a traditional John Dore copper pot still, known as the \"Rolls Royce of stills,\" this gin is distilled with meticulous care, ensuring only the finest \"hearts\" of the distillation are retained. The process incorporates a base grain spirit distilled four times to achieve neutrality, followed by steeping botanicals for two days before a slow, single distillation. A resting period of three weeks allows the essential oils from its botanicals to harmonize, creating a supremely smooth spirit with a 43.5% ABV.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nOn the nose, Fifty Pounds Gin offers a crisp bouquet of juniper, citrus (lemon and lime), and coriander, with a subtle sweetness and creamy undertones. The palate is clean and classic, starting with dry juniper before transitioning to notes of lemon, angelica, and coriander.
