Gin Lane 1751 London Dry Gin

About this bottle

The name Gin Lane 1751 references two historical points in gin's evolution: William Hogarth's "Gin Lane" etching, which depicted negative social behaviors associated with gin consumption, and the Gin Act of 1751, which imposed strict controls on gin sales. These events marked a shift in gin's perception from a low-quality spirit to a respected beverage enjoyed by affluent Victorians. This London Dry gin expression pays homage to that era of high-quality Victorian gin. It is crafted from 100% pure grain spirit and macerated with ten botanicals—juniper, orris root, Seville orange, angelica, Sicilian lemon, star anise, cassia bark, and coriander—for 24 hours prior to distillation. The gin is bottled at 40% ABV.
