Distilled in small batches, Fifty Pounds Gin uses a traditional London Dry style with a botanical profile led by juniper, coriander, angelica root, liquorice root, grains of paradise, lemon peel, orange peel, and savory, along with additional botanicals kept as part of the brand’s recipe. The result is a clean, balanced gin with bright citrus, classic juniper, gentle spice, and subtle earthy depth.
