As the driving force behind D-Day Gin I want to honour my late grandfather Albert Taylor, who served as a British soldier under General Montgomery during World War II. This gin is atribute to his heroism. On the 6th of June 1944 the British landed on Gold Beach in Normandy. This “Gold Edition” is a special batch, for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The successful recipe of “D-Day Gin” was retained and laid on French oak. This process gives the gin its beautiful golden colour, resulting in a balanced rich gin that is perfectly pure to drink.
