Bulldog Gin

Introduction

Bulldog London Dry Gin is a premium gin from the United Kingdom, specifically distilled in England at the historic G&J Greenall Distillery. Launched in 2007 by former investment banker Anshuman Vohra, the brand was created to offer a modern, bold alternative to "outdated" gins. Its name and "Bulldog Spirit" are inspired by Sir Winston Churchill. In 2017, the brand was acquired by the Campari Group, which now oversees its global distribution.

Spirit Description

Bulldog is a "modern" interpretation of the London Dry style, quadruple-distilled in copper pot stills using 100% British wheat and Welsh water. It is distinguished by a unique blend of 12 botanicals sourced from eight countries, including exotic ingredients like dragon eye (a fruit similar to lychee), white poppy, and lotus leaves.

• Colour: Crystal clear.

• Aroma: A bouquet of piney juniper, floral lavender, citrus lime zest, and a musky, nutty hint of angelica.

• Palate: Unexpectedly smooth and creamy for a 40% spirit. It features a juniper-forward taste balanced by layers of almond, liquorice, and cassia spice.

• Body: Medium-bodied with a soft mouthfeel.

• Finish: A crisp finish with lingering notes of nutty angelica and a warm, cracked black pepper spice.

• ABV: Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
