In Victorian times, pink gin was a combination of plain gin and aromatic bitters, and Gin Lane 1751 recreates exactly that classic style by adding herb and spice bitters after distillation.
Expert's description
Gin Lane 1751 Small Batch Victoria Pink Gin is an English pink gin, bottled at 40%.
The gin is built on eight botanicals: juniper, orris root, Seville orange, angelica, Sicilian lemon, star anise, cassia bark and coriander.
Following distillation, herb and spice bitters are added, giving the gin its characteristic pink colour and its name, Victoria Pink.
The style references the Victorian tradition of pink gin, where plain gin is mixed with aromatic bitters rather than fruit extracts.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose is led by juniper and citrus, followed by a subtle spicy warmth from the aromatic bitters, with hints of coriander and angelica root.
Palate
The palate is smooth and balanced with a predominance of juniper followed by the freshness of berries and a light hint of sweet spices.
Finish
The finish has a medium-length warmth, where the bitter elements become more pronounced and leave a pleasant dryness.
