Beefeater Blood Orange is inspired by James Burrough's original recipe from 1876, when he hand-picked oranges at London's Covent Garden market to create a gin with a delicate orange flavor. After 143 years, Beefeater has returned to this legacy and created a fresh, distinctive and perfectly balanced gin with the essence of blood orange, combining tradition with modern style.
This set also includes an elegant Beefeater glass, making it the perfect gift for gin lovers.
Tasting profile:
Aroma: Fresh citrus aroma of blood orange complemented by notes of juniper and spicy herbs.
Taste: Full and harmonious, with dominant notes of sweet and juicy blood orange, balanced by juniper, lemon and orange peel, delicate floral notes of iris and a hint of almond and licorice.
Botanicals in perfect harmony:
Beefeater Blood Orange combines traditional herbs and spices – juniper, lemon and Seville orange peel, almonds, angelica root and seeds, coriander seeds, iris root and licorice – with the natural aroma of blood orange for a uniquely refreshing character.
Serving suggestion:
Serve with tonic or lemonade over ice, garnished with a slice of blood orange and a sprig of basil. Also great in creative gin cocktails.
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.
