The King’s Ginger is a liqueur which was specifically formulated by Berry Bros. & Rudd in 1903 for King Edward VII. Rich and zesty, it was created to stimulate and revivify His Majesty and has been appreciated by bon viveurs ever since. A fiery ginger spirit enlivened by a hit of zesty lemon, this is best enjoyed both on its own or in cocktails.
Just one bottle of our original London Dry Gin remains. Armed with a vial of this precious liquid from the 1950s, our expert team of distillers has recreated what was once known as “Berrys’ Best”. Filled with heady juniper, the nose hints at violet creams and a soft chalkiness; while the palate is appealingly soft with a floral slant. Most importantly, it makes a superlative G&T.
New to the Penny Blue stable is this VSOP. Deep and enticing with notes of marmalade, melon skin and cloves, it is soft yet luxuriant. As with Penny Blue’s award-winning XO, it is entirely natural in colour and non-chill-filtered.
Penny Blue is named after the world's rarest stamp, printed in Mauritius in 1847. Berry Bros. & Rudd’s Spirits Specialist, Doug McIvor, and Jean-Francoise Koenig, Master Distiller at Medine combine their expertise to distil, age and select casks at the very peak of their maturity.

The tart tang of gooseberries is entwined with the heady floral scent of elderflower. On the palate, mouth-watering citrus integrates perfectly with sweet floral hints, delivering the moreish taste of an English summer.
Our Gooseberry & Elderflower Gin goes particularly well as part of a gin and tonic or a gin fizz.

Rosemary provides a savoury platform for the bitter-sweet citrus punch of pink grapefruit. On the palate, the citrus mingles with the spirit’s juniper base, creating a smooth-textured spirit cut with a calming note of rosemary.
Our Grapefruit & Rosemary Gin is an ideal base for a delicious gin and tonic.

The finest wild sloe berries are infused with our award-winning London Dry Gin to produce a benchmark-setting example of this most comfortingly British drink. Rich sloe fruit and that distinctive almond edge lead on to a lightly textured, well-rounded mouthful of vibrant fruit. There’s a wonderful balance between sweetness and the faintest bitter note. Many believe that Sloe Gin should be enjoyed neat, but also try it on the rocks or in a variety of cocktails – it’s far more versatile than you might think.
Crafted in the heart of London in partnership with Union Hand-Roasted Coffee, our cold drip Coffee Liqueur is distilled at a higher strength for a more intense and fuller coffee flavour. Simply shake 50ml of our Coffee Liqueur with a shot of fresh espresso over ice for the simplest, best-tasting Espresso Martini.

Often claimed to be the birthplace of rum, Barbados has over 350 years’ experience growing sugar cane. This example is softly brooding on the nose, with sugared almonds providing levity, especially allied to a palate offering notes of dense wood and molasses. This is a delightfully old-fashioned rum of a type that has been popular on these islands for generations.
Historically almost all Scotch bore a distinctive smoky note, as peat was the most readily available fuel: today, however, it is much less common. Our Classic Peated Cask is a tribute to the traditional, peated dram -with expressive bursts of soot and smoke complemented by the spirit’s fruitiness.
Appearance: Light.
Bouquet: Well balanced, with Peat aromas giving the edge. Fruity undertones deliver a rich complexity.
Palate: A fruity sweetness introduces the soft peaty character. Well balanced to perfection.
Finish: Mid-long, deliciously Peated.

We created No.3 to be the last word in gin: a perfect combination of juniper, citrus and spice. “Gin, just as it should be,” said our Chairman.
The critics agree. So far, No.3 has been named the world’s best gin four times at the International Spirits Challenge.
We wanted the bottle to look every bit as good as the spirit tastes, so we’ve given it a bold design.
With juniper at its heart, it unashamedly celebrates the integrity and character of traditional London Dry Gin: three fruits and three spices distilled in traditional copper pot stills.
The nose is bright, crisp and fresh with an uplifting welcome of juniper. The palate: Juniper to the fore, supported by floral notes and spicy, warm cardamom. Plenty of citrus ‘zing’ complemented by the gingery spiciness of coriander. The earthy dryness of angelica kicks in on the finish.

Our long relationship with the famous, family-owned firm of Nismes-Delclou has resulted in this bottling of exceptional quality Bas Armagnac. Traditional method distillation and cask ageing for a minimum of 10 years has mellowed the characteristic floral nose and dried fruit flavours of this fine digestif. Sumptuous notes of spice, hazelnut and vanilla combine to deliver a cushioned, lingering finish
Ireland has a long history of distilling - longer than Scotland’s, some would argue. There has been a resurgence in the number of distilleries – both new and old – opening in recent years. Our Classic Irish single malt comes from Cooley in Dundalk.
The nose is fresh and crisp, with juicy apple, while spicy vanilla notes come forward from the oak. The palate is oily, with a brittle bite of apple acidity, which gives vibrancy.

Deep and enticing, dusty sweet corn husks mingle with rich seasoned oak notes to provide an assertive, uplifting nose which is softened by honey and vibrant fruit. The palate expands gloriously with a background sour mash and chalky hit doused by layers of honey and dark treacle. Lingering and giving this is a masterpiece of balance, complexity, texture and structure.
Deep and enticing on the nose, with intense wood spice, this rum exhibits ripe fruit in abundance and a rare complexity. A stunning example from Panama, it demonstrates the ability of the country’s unique climate and terroir to produce world-class rum. The palate is equally complex and balanced, with amazing puissance and longevity but it is not at all overpowering. Exceptional.
From the unique realm of Guyanan Demerara rum, we have an equally unique expression which encapsulates the diverse abilities of this nation to produce something very different. The nose exudes a mix of tobacco leaf and sultana infused with liquorice and linseed. The palate has an oily, fruity and spicy balance and the flavours fight to disseminate but do so in wonderfully staged progression.
