The effect was real: gin became scarcer and pricier, and by the Victorian era, had transformed into a considerably more respectable drink. Victoria Pink is the brand's own tribute to exactly that Victorian-era style, when \"pink gin\" — a small measure of Angostura-style bitters added to gin — was genuinely fashionable, a practice with roots tracing back to the British Royal Navy's own habit of balancing dry gin with aromatic bitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe brand was created by Charles Maxwell, an eighth-generation master distiller at Thames Distillers whose family has been distilling gin in London since the 17th century, working alongside drinks industry group The Bloomsbury Club. Victoria Pink begins as the distillery's own London Dry gin, built from eight classic botanicals — juniper, orris root, Seville orange, angelica, Sicilian lemon, star anise, cassia bark, and coriander — distilled in traditional small copper pot stills. Following distillation, a proprietary blend of herb and spiced bitters is added, giving the gin its natural pink hue without relying on any added sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGin Lane 1751 Victoria Pink Gin is produced in England, created by Charles Maxwell, eighth-generation master distiller at Thames Distillers, whose family has distilled gin in London since the 17th century, in collaboration with The Bloomsbury Club.

Classic gin botanicals mingle with a gentle bitterness reminiscent of Angostura. Light floral notes and a touch of sweetness provide contrast. The pink hue doesn't translate to a berry flavor — instead, expect a traditional gin profile with added complexity. Finish: Medium-length with lingering warmth. The bitter elements become more pronounced, leaving a pleasant dryness.
