Gin Lane 1751

William Hogarth's famous 1751 engraving depicted London's gin epidemic as a social collapse. Gin Lane 1751 turns that history on its head, using the very image as a tribute to gin's long, chequered journey from disgrace to refinement.

    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.

    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.

About Gin Lane 1751

Gin Lane 1751 is an English gin named after artist William Hogarth's famous 1751 engraving 'Gin Lane'. For newcomers it's a spicy, classic London dry gin that's easy to enjoy; for collectors it's notable that the brand deliberately plays on the gin category's dark past, turning an image of social hardship into a symbol of how far the craft has come since the 18th-century 'gin craze'.

History & Background

Hogarth's engraving was originally paired with a companion piece, 'Beer Street', where beer was depicted as wholesome and prosperous while gin was portrayed as the root of social misery, drunkenness, poverty and neglected children in London's poorest quarters. The image was, in truth, propaganda, created to support the Gin Act of 1751, which sharply tightened the sale of gin to curb what contemporaries called the 'gin craze'. That a modern brand today uses this very motif as its name and label is a deliberate contrast: where gin was once society's disgrace, it is now a craft product celebrated for its quality rather than condemned for its effects.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled with juniper and classic London Dry botanicals using a traditional English method.

Signature Style

Spiced, Citrus, Classic
The taste offers a classic London Dry character with spiced and citrus-driven notes.
