The Pickering’s family recipe forms the basis of every gin in their award-winning range, but it’s only the Original 1947 that follows it to a tee. There are 9 premium botanicals sourced from around the world that go into the 1947: juniper, anise, cardamom, fennel, coriander, lemon, cloves, lime, and cinnamon. The regular Pickering’s Gin swaps out cinnamon for angelica to provide a subtler taste that’s common to modern gins. The Original 1947 recipe is ideal for those who love a punchy palate, with cinnamon creating a fragrant blend that’s rich in warmth and sweetness. Perfect Serve – The spicy elements of Pickering’s 1947 are particularly heightened when paired with ice cold ginger ale, or even used to create a gin-twist on a Bloody Mary.
