BulldogGin(700mL)

<p>What can a well-travelled son of a diplomat living in New York teach us about great London Dry Gin… turns out, quite a lot!</p><p><em>Bulldog Gin</em> has one eponymous product… Bulldog Gin. Conceived as a business in 2006 (a Chinese year of the dog), Bulldog was officially launched in 2007 by <em>Anshuman Vohra</em>, who developed a passion for Gin while touring the world and sipping Gin and Tonics with his father — a professional diplomat. They focus on one thing and one thing only; making great, uniquely charactered, <em>world-class Gin</em> from their New York headquarters. </p><p>First, <em>“Bulldog” </em>is genius of a name for Gin, don’t you think? The bulldog is one of those national, cultural symbols that screams <em>“England!”</em> Picture an English bulldog in a red phone booth wearing a crown and drinking a Gin and Tonic and you have a quad-fecta of British iconic association that can’t be beat. They even put a little spiked collar around the neck of the bottle. <em>Brilliant!</em></p><p>But that is all the marketing stuff. What’s “in” the bottle is what counts right? And what’s in this beautiful black glass bottle is a truly top-shelf Gin with a fascinating character profile and superior quality. It’s <em>4-times distilled</em> and features twelve — count ‘em — <em>twelve</em> botanicals. Yes, the <em>juniper</em> is there, but it takes neither a leading role nor a back seat. It is surrounded by the <em>orris root, coriander, licorice, angelica, lavender,</em> and <em>lemon </em>you might expect, but they are joined by <em>dragon-eye </em>from China, Turkish <em>white poppy, lotus leaves</em>, <em>cassia, </em>and <em>almond. </em>This is a Gin by a Gin-lover for Gin-lovers. </p>
