Originally created in 1845 and named after London's Boodle's Gentleman's Club, St. James's, London (est. 1762), this gin has a rich history. In the 1980s Boodles London Dry Gin was still only available at Boodles Gentleman's Club or on the US and Japanese market. Making it available to the general British public would have been unthinkable. Still, that didn't mean it wasn't a British classic!
Having been discontinued and then revived, this bottle is not to be confused with its current incarnation said recent revival.
We particularly enjoy the double-sided label that, after a few Martinis might make it difficult to determine which is front and which is back. Not that it matters, mind...

Gin has come a long way since its infamous origins as the scourge of the working classes in 18th century in England. Once called "mother's ruin," gin and its closest relative, Jenever, enjoyed mass popularity during the early 20th century, in cocktails and punches across the globe, but declined with cocktail culture in the 60's and 70's. The international resurgence of martinis and speakeasies has led to a boom in microdistilleries producing high-quality gins for all tastes, from dry to sweet, and with all the aromatic variety of a spice market.
