Production
Bulldog Gin is handmade in London using traditional methods, with 4 distillations and triple filtration in copper stills that incorporate the flavors of 12 selected botanical ingredients from 9 different countries. The botanicals used are juniper, lotus leaves, lemon peel, coriander, licorice, cassia, angelica, orris root, poppy seed, and dragon eye (believed to have aphrodisiac and medicinal properties).
A total of 12 botanicals, along with neutral grain, are placed inside a copper pot so that the botanicals can macerate before distillation. Through this method, the vapor passes through a condenser and is then re-liquefied to separate the volatile compounds from the distilled liquid. The resulting liquid is combined again with wheat and diluted with demineralized water.

Recommended Serving of Bulldog Gin
Bulldog Gin is perfect for making cocktails. To make a perfect Gin and Tonic with Bulldog Gin, you can combine it with the following tonics: Schweppes Azahar y Lavanda, Bö Dry, Ledger's Licorice, 1724, Fever Tree, Markham, and Indi.
The preparation involves using ice to chill the glass, then discarding it and using one or several large ice cubes for the drink. Serve the gin and then finish with the tonic, using a spoon to prevent the bubbles from dissipating. Except when using Schweppes tonic, as its higher carbonation concentration makes it recommended to pour it directly onto the Bulldog Gin.
