Product description
In Autumn 2017, Sadler's Brewing Company expanded its Peaky Blinder brand to include Irish Whiskey, Spiced Dry Gin and Black Spiced Rum.
Sadler's, based in Birmingham, has been around since 1861 and is a respected brewer, although it was also a distributor of distilled spirits in the 1920s. The name Peaky Blinder refers to a street gang that operated at the turn of the 20th century (a likeness of one of the members is on the label). The formula for Peaky Blinder Spiced Dry Gin remains a secret, all we know is that it contains nine botanicals, including, of course, juniper, ginger, grains of paradise and "a few other oriental spices". In just two years since its debut, Peaky Blinder has won three medals, including two silvers at the 2019 International Spirit Challenge and the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Peaky Blinder is an extremely "characteristic" gin, in which the spiciness of ginger and pepper is pleasantly balanced by delicate notes of orange, raisins and vanilla. It tastes best served with Fever Tree tonic and a slice of pink grapefruit.
