Beefeater Crown Jewel Gin 1l 50%

Beefeater Crown Jewel Gin is the ultimate edition of London Dry Gin, inspired by the Crown Jewels of the Tower of London. After more than ten years, this legendary gin returns in a modern interpretation that preserves the tradition, luxury, and timeless spirit of London.

Compared to the classic Beefeater London Dry, it has a higher strength of 50% and a distinctive grapefruit peel flavor that further enhances the citrus character of the gin. The carefully balanced blend of nine botanicals is even more intense thanks to the higher alcohol content, with a clean taste and unmistakable depth.

The deep red, ruby-colored bottle with facets inspired by gemstone cutting is as exceptional as its contents—a true collector's item for connoisseurs.

Tasting profile:

Color: Clear and sparkling.

Aroma: Confident juniper and fresh citrus, full and rounded aroma with a subtle spiciness.

Taste: An initial explosion of grapefruit, followed by classic juniper, warm spices and a slightly sweet touch of licorice. The finish returns to deeper citrus tones.

Juniper, lemon peel, Seville orange peel, grapefruit peel, almonds, angelica root and seeds, coriander seeds, orris root, licorice root.

Serving suggestion:

Perfect for a bold Gin & Tonic with a slice of grapefruit, or as a luxurious base for a Martini or Negroni.

About the Beefeater distillery:

Beefeater is one of the last true London gins still produced in the heart of the British capital. Under the supervision of experienced master distiller Desmond Payne, gin is produced at the Kennington distillery using a recipe that has remained virtually unchanged since the 19th century.

The brand name refers to the legendary guards of the Tower of London, known as the "Beefeaters." Their strong connection to the city's history is symbolized by the gin itself – traditional, British, and honest.

The Beefeater distillery is housed in an impressive Edwardian building with a 1950s extension and retains authentic features such as Victorian copper stills and a botanical room where the raw materials for production are stored. It is here that the famous 24-hour maceration of herbs takes place, giving the gin its complex and harmonious flavor.
