COOL BOTTLES

IT’S NOT JUST ALL ABOUT THE TASTE

BULLdOG GIN

Bulldog Gin was created with a new posture and approach to the traditionally conservative world of super-premium gin. Sir Winston Churchill, who inspired the name, embodied the British “Bulldog Spirit” and was an iconic and independent spirit himself. The bottle is bold, stocky and designed to visually evoke the philosophy behind its contents. Its spiked collar and dark, smoky-black color strikes immediate attention. The distinct blend of botanicals, including dragon eye (cousin to the lychee), poppy, and lotus leaves sets this gin apart and solidifies its iconic status. This is a gin-lover’s gin but will also charm the most die-hard vodka crowds.

TANqUErAy NO. TEN

Tanqueray No. Ten Gin was first launched in 2000 with martini drinkers in mind. The bottle is noticeably Tanqueray, given the dark green hue and iconic redwaxed seal. Ten’s unique character is perfectly embodied within the tall and elegant packaging. Ten has a stronger juniper flavor than the original Tanqueray Gin and uses fresh fruit, not just peels, giving it extraordinary character. This is the classic martini-lover’s spirit of choice, and is the only gin in the World Spirits Hall of Fame. Not bad for a gin just born a little over a decade ago.

Bombay Sapphire is based on a recipe dating back to 1761, created by gentleman distiller Thomas dakin, East is the first new spirit for the House of Bombay in twenty-five years. Bombay Sapphire East continues this iconic gin’s centuries-old legacy for creating smooth gin with perfectly balanced taste.
