Beefeater Gin
Beefeater is the only internationally premium distilled spirit still made in the heart of London. The name is inspired by the yeoman warders, who famously stand watch over the Tower of London. They are locally known as Beefeaters! Lovely smooth gently mouth feel with lots of citrus flavours coming through. A little spicy with lots of juniper coming through on the finish.
