I’ll never understand why governments do things like that, it never works, right? As you might expect, the good, drink-loving folks in jolly-old England responded just like Americans did 200 years later. They made\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; “Bathtub Gin”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;… a lot of it! So naturally, the British government thought the solution was more regulations and taxes. They imposed a special tax of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;£50\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; on anyone who wanted to distill or sell Gin. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Predictably, the Gin industry collapsed and the people were collectively more sad. Anyway, that’s where \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;the name came from. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;The founders of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;50 Pounds London Gin\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; named their little craft distillery after that tax in a wry British mockery of the effort. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;This is a proper Gin. The good people of 50 Pounds London Gin are standing up saying, “Wot? You think you fancy-dandy blokes can make Gin better by adding bubble gum and celebrity endorsements? Pish-Posh!” OK, they didn’t REALLY say it like that, but that’s what their Gin says, loud and clear. It is distilled from grain spirits and infused with a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;classic “perfect” recipe\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; hidden from authorities more than a century ago. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Juniper berries\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, a nice blend of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;citrus\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, some \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;licorice\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, grains of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;paradise,\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;coriander, angelica, savory, a bit of lavender,\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and a whole lot of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;love \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;— \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;that’s what you get in every bottle and that’s just fine with me.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; That’s their story and they are sticking to it.\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Cheers! \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132274270390,"sku":"39610","price":9.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/fiftypoundslondondrygin-700ml_39610_01_e8bfb0bf_4a35c9d1-624f-47f4-b2bd-8bf0a7ef2ba7.jpg?v=1779127046","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/fiftypoundslondondrygin-700ml-39610","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
