The name pays tribute to Winston Churchill's famous "Bulldog spirit", and the bottle, short, grey and studded around the neck, is just as distinctive as the gin itself. Behind it stands a former banker who left JPMorgan to distil gin.
Expert's description
Bulldog London Dry Gin is an English London Dry Gin quadruple-distilled from 100% British wheat and bottled at 40%.
The gin launched in 2006 from the Bulldog Gin Company, founded by Anshuman Vohra, a former JPMorgan banker who left finance to pursue his passion for gin.
The 12 botanicals are sourced from eight different countries and hand-picked each year from the same regions to ensure consistency. Alongside classics like juniper, lemon peel, almond and lavender, the recipe includes three entirely unique ingredients: Chinese lotus leaves, Turkish white poppy and Chinese dragon eye fruit.
The gin is distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and its distinctive bottle with a matte black plastic screwcap is just as recognisable as the name itself.
