Fifty Pounds Gin Review & Tasting Notes

About Fifty Pounds Gin
Fifty Pounds Gin was launched in 2010 and the 'Fifty Pounds' name harks back to the 1736 Gin Act which introduced a £50 license to be purchased in order to produce gin. Only 2 distilleries agreed to pay this and it resulted in a surge in the production of bootlegged gin. Similarly the bottle is inspired be the 18th century style 'case bottles'. The gin is produced in a John Dore & Co copper still at Thames Distillers in London, and focuses on traditional gin botanicals. |

The Gin Guide Review
Fifty Pounds Gin is classically styled and well-balanced. There are no surprises and you get exactly what you'd expect from a traditional gin. Juniper is prominent with citrus, coriander and a backbone of spices. It is very clean and light in terms of mouthfeel, with a long finish. If you're after a no-nonsense, classic gin and tonic or Martini, Fifty Pounds Gin is a very solid choice. - Paul Jackson, 2018 |

"Fifty Pounds Gin has been extraordinarily successful in that and it’s now exported to something like 30 different countries around the world. As a small gin distiller I find it quite an achievement that I can go into bars, whether it be in Hong Kong, Colombia, USA, Spain, or Germany, and find them serving Fifty Pounds Gin." - Charles Maxwell, Distiller
