About this bottle

This gin is crafted according to a recipe dating back to 1783. It is produced at the Langley Distillery in England using a copper pot-still and eleven botanicals, including juniper, coriander, lemon and orange peels, licorice, and cinnamon. A small quantity of sugar is introduced after distillation, resulting in an "Old Tom" style gin. It is sold in repurposed Champagne bottles, sealed with wax, and bottled at 44% ABV.

Ali Grey 5.0

As noted by Ms Moreno, but I'd say the oil content is more noticeable than the chart suggests.

Janette Holguin 2.8

Spicy, slightly oily, a fantastic overall sensation. Like spiced mulled wine in a sloe gin format.

Stephany Strand 4.0

Mild in flavor. Light sweetness.
