Halewood Artisanal Spirits has launched a limited-edition bottle of its Whitley Neill Connoisseur’s Cut London Dry Gin to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III.

Available now at an RRP of £30, the bottle replaces its usual blue colouring for a white, red and blue combination. It also features the official coronation emblem on the seal of the lid and the coronation’s 6 May date.

Connoisseur’s Cut has a 47% ABV, with notes of juniper and citrus. It is made at The City of London Distillery’s Elizabeth still, named for the late Queen to mark her Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
