Royal Windsor Gin small batch Vol.37,5% Cl.70

Royal Windsor Gin was created to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. It is produced by the Royal Collection Trust and reflects the new sovereign's concern for ecology and nature.

This gin is not only "royal" in name: it was launched by the Royal Collection Trust, the body that manages the Crown's residences and art collections.

Locally Sourced Ingredients: Many of the botanicals used come directly from the gardens of Windsor Castle.

Charitable Purpose: Profits from the sale of the gin go towards the preservation of the Royal Collection, making every sip a small contribution to the history of art.

For this occasion, Buckingham Palace Royal Collection Trust created this unique spirit, very fruity and pleasantly tangy. Its aromas and beautiful, vibrant color are due to the addition of raspberries harvested from the Windsor family's estates throughout England.

Unlike the classic London Dry, Royal Windsor is a Pink Gin, characterized by a natural sweetness and an elegant pink color.

Most of the botanicals are gathered from the royal gardens of Windsor Castle: juniper, coriander, angelica, licorice, cassia bark, and orange peel.

To these traditional notes are added some unusual botanicals such as pink peppercorn, rose petals, and raspberries.

A "fun" fact: The Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II are said to have been great gin lovers. While Queen Elizabeth preferred the classic Gin & Dubonnet, this raspberry version reflects a more contemporary taste, perfect for English summer garden parties.

How to Serve It (The Perfect Serve) To honor its regal nature, the best way to enjoy it is simple yet refined:

Ingredient Quantity / Type: Gin: 50ml Royal Windsor Gin, Premium tonic water (preferably "Elderflower" or classic)
