Queen Elizabeth and Gin.

Queen Elizabeth II and Her Gin.

Queen Elizabeth bringt eigene Gin-Marke heraus – mit Zutaten aus ihrem Garten | GLAMOUR

 

Maybe I’m thinking to much about Queen Elizabeth II and her Platinum Jubilee. Dr. Wetbrain thought to himself. But a previous post made me want to look a little deeper into her Sandringham Dry Gin.

This year at the age of 96 the Queen introduced from Buckingham Palace a fine gin called Sandringham Dry Gin. It is known that the Queen has a love for a Gin and Dubonnet Wine cocktail. Which consists of 2 ounces of Dubonnet wine, 1 ounce of gin, a lemon wedge and ice. Note: In the 1500’s, Queen Elizabeth I drank strong ale for breakfast. Drunk by noon.

For the Sandringham Gin the herbs, citrus and other botanicals were harvested from the Buckingham Palace Gardens. 325 wild plant species on 40 acres. 250 species are flowers and to complement the garden 30 species of birds. Some of the ingredient of this gin consists of lemon verbena, hawthorn berries, bay leaves and mulberry leaves.

Produced by family owned WhataHoot Distillery and gin school. Launched in an old barn at Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, England. This estate was inherited by Queen Elizabeth 2 from her father George VI in 1952. Both her father and grandfather, George VII died at this estate. Only 8000 acres.

This 42% fine gin sold in large 700ml bottles for about $50.oo, unfortunately sold only in the UK. Good to note that a small batch of gin proceeds support the huge Royal Arts Collection.

Sandringham Dry Gin is a regal alcohol beverage. Dr. Wetbrain drifted in thought. Only sold in the UK. I must get ahold of my connections to smuggle a bottle to me! Oh, did I say that out loud.
