1724 Tonic

A good gin deserves a tonic that doesn't drown it out. 1724 Tonic was made with exactly that in mind - a clean, balanced bitterness that lifts the gin's botanicals rather than fighting them. The name is a nod to gin's birth as a modern spirit, back when London Dry Gin was truly taking shape.

   

About 1724 Tonic

1724 Tonic is a premium tonic water, designed to complement gin rather than overpower it, with a clean, balanced bitterness from natural quinine. For the newcomer it's the perfect partner for a simple gin and tonic; for the seasoned gin enthusiast, a well-made tonic is essential - the right tonic can highlight a gin's finer botanicals, while a poor tonic can drown them out completely.

History & Background

The name 1724 refers to a period in gin history when the London Dry style was truly beginning to take shape as a cleaner, more refined counterpart to the earlier, sweeter "Old Tom" style. Tonic water as a concept originally stems from British colonists' use of quinine against malaria in the tropics, a bitter medicine later mixed with soda water and sugar to make it more palatable. 1724 Tonic builds on this long history by offering a modern, premium tonic tailored to highlight gin rather than dominate the glass.

Production & Style

The tonic is made with natural cinchona bark and selected botanicals, in several variants tailored to different gin styles and taste preferences.

Signature Style

Bitter, Clean, Balanced
The taste varies by variant, but a clean, well-balanced bitterness without excessive sweetness is common.
