Thames Distillers ltd. has been called London’s first craft distillery. And while Uncle Flaviar can either confirm nor deny claims of this nature, we can say authoritatively that Charles Maxwell knows his … thing or two about this business. He is the master distiller who founded Thames Distillers nearly 20 years ago in 1996. These days they make a wide range of products, some of which are white label operations for other nameplates. They also make their own branded products that they market accordingly. You will find their Gin-ny fingerprints on many of the most popular small-batch Gins, Vodkas, and a few other fiddly things, mostly available in the UK and EU markets.
So … why is it pink? Well, a hundred years ago, they used to bottle a “pink Gin” that was traditional London Dry with a bit of Angostura Bitters added. Yep … it was pink. Edgerton Original Pink Dry Gin follows in that tradition, but in addition to their unique mix of 14 botanicals—including and very interesting Mexican damiana—the pop in a little pomegranate, thus the pink. Hey, there are blue, green, black, and amber colored Gins, so why not?
Most Gin is bottled around 40%. If you don’t like the taste of good Gin, then it is easy to hide that 80-proof stuff under a mound of fruit chunks and ice that way. But here’s a little secret, if you actually want to taste your Gin in that Gin and Tonic, Aviation Cocktail, or Negroni, you just have to go with something a little stiffer. Edgerton Original Pink Dry Gin is not only up to the task here, but the hint of sour pomegranate does wonders in those classic Gin cocktails.

Is Gin gluten free? Sort of. While Gin is made from a grain Spirit, which could include wheat, barley or even rye, some experts say that it’s still suitable for those on gluten-free diets due to being distilled. The distillation process removes enough of the gluten protein in the drink to make it gluten-free. But proceed with caution.
Few Gin distillers make their own alcohol. Gin usually starts with neutral Spirit: A commodity that distillers buy in bulk. It’s what the distiller does with this commodity in the flavor-infusing process that makes each Gin different.
Gin was so cheap and popular in London in the first half of the 18th century, an epidemic of drunkenness engulfed the city. There were 7,000 Gin shops by 1730 and wasted Londoners fell victim to acts of violence and widespread addiction. The government had to step in with an emergency legislation to stop the so-called "Gin Craze".
