About
Pickering's 1947 42% - 70cl
Pickering’s 1947 is made exactly to an original Bombay recipe, handwritten on a fragment of paper dated 17 July 1947. Kept as a family secret for over 66 years, it only resurfaced in 2013 when distillers Matt and Marcus began distilling at Summerhall. They have been true to the original recipe, re-adding cinnamon. The result is a spectacularly smooth, refreshing and decidedly spicy gin.
