We might not be royalty, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t drink like the royal family. The Royal Collection Trust is debuting a London dry gin that is made with botanicals – several of which are sourced straight from the Buckingham Palace garden! And the best part is this liquor won’t cost you a fortune to add it to your home bar.
The gin is a small batch that is infused with 12 different botanicals, most of which come directly from the royal gardens. In case you’re wondering which ones are the royal garden infusions, it’s lemon verbena, hawthorn berries, bay leaves, and mulberry leaves. Sounds quite lovely.
This gin is said to be an ABV of 42%. You can purchase it in 23-ounce bottles. Each bottle is about $50, but they’re currently only deliverable within the United Kingdom. Additionally, they can only be bought online. If you can find a way to get your hands on a bottle it’s well worth it since this is the Buckingham Palace Gin that gets served at official palace events!
The accompanying statement recommends that the gin be poured over ice, topped off with tonic, and garnished with a lemon slice. Additionally, all the sale proceeds from the gin will go to the Royal Collection Trust – a registered charity that puts on exhibitions, publications, loans, and educational programs.
More information about The Buckingham Palace Gin is available on the Royal Collection Trust website where you can also buy it for UK delivery.
