Beefeater
At the Beefeater distillery, located in London, in the Kennington district, one of the most famous and best-selling London Gins in the world is produced, which has become an icon of style. The father of Beefeater gin was James Burrough, a London pharmacist who, in the second half of the 19th century, applied his studies and knowledge in creating an original recipe, still strictly followed today. The name chosen by Burrough for his gin, which soon became part of the pantheon of great spirits, pays homage to the Yeomen Warders, the guardians of the Tower of London, affectionately nicknamed 'Beefeater' and considered a symbol of the city.
The production process of Beefeater has retained its artisanal origin and today uses five bronze Carterhead stills. The original recipe involves soaking the botanicals, including: Italian and Macedonian juniper berries, bitter orange peel from Seville, Spanish lemon peel, angelica from Belgium, coriander from Russia, lily root, and Parma violet from Italy, for 24 hours in the barley and corn distillate.Chinese licorice and bitter almond oil.
Alongside the classic Beefeater London Dry Gin, with its citrus and full-bodied character, the distillery stands out for other highly sought-after gins such as the super premium "24" or the ultra premium "Burrough's Reserve". These are unique and precious gins, award-winning, born from the combination of the inimitable Beefeater tradition and the expertise of master distiller Desmond Payne. Whether presented in the traditional square bottle or in the round numbered bottle (as is the case for "Burrough's Reserve"), the Beefeater brand guarantees high quality, a connection to tradition, impeccable quality, and British aplomb.
