BEEFEATER LONDON DRY GIN

Beefeater’s history can be traced back to 1862, when James Burrough, born 1835, bought the Cale Street based Chelsea distillery from Rectifier & Compounder, John Taylor, for the sum of £400 and started to produce his own distinctive style of gin by 1863. At first, the distillery continued with the production of liqueurs as previously started by its previous owners, further establishing its reputation and extending its customer base.
