Английская Википедия:Booth's Gin
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Booth's Gin is a once well-known and widely consumed make of London dry gin, recently reintroduced after years of being unavailable. It was founded by a Lincolnshire branch of the ancient Booth family in about 1740.[1]
Booth's Gin was most famously sold in distinctive hexagonal glass bottles. Its paper labelling alluded to the Red Lion distillery in Clerkenwell where the drink was originally produced,[2] and to the heraldic crest of the Booth family.
Known as the "gentleman's gin", reputedly it was a favourite of both Queen Elizabeth II, and the Queen Mother.[3] English novelist and critic Sir Kingsley Amis (1922–1995) favoured Booth's as a mixer for pink gin.[4]
The brand, owned by Diageo Spirits, was by the 21st century only produced in the United States and ceased production in 2017.[5] In November 2018, the brand was sold to the Sazerac Company.[6]
Sazerac recommenced production of Booth's Finest Old Dry Gin in the United Kingdom in 2022.[7]
