Her Majesty The Queen has ventured into the market of alcohol this year! Though Buckingham Palace released a special gin this summer, this particular gin consists of ingredients from Queen Elizabeth's very own home!
Queen Elizabeth Launches New Line Of Gin
While many have been practicing their bread-baking skills, or fixing up some improvements around the house, the Queen has decided to go another route this quarantine-filled year.
Instead, she now has her own gin line, which includes Sharon fruit, also known as the Chinese persimmon, that grows in her Walled Garden.
According to the Sandringham website, the Walled Garden "is on a sheltered wall at the end of what was a range of glass houses, built on the winnings of the famous racehorse, Persimmon, owned by King Edward VII."
It further continues, "The foliage from myrtle plants also grown on the Estate, originated from a cutting taken from Princess Alexandra’s wedding bouquet on her marriage to Prince Albert Edward, who later became King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra."
The gin is only able to ship within the U.K. and costs £50.00. Additionally, if you plan on making this a gift, be sure to order ahead of time, as the distillery process can take up to two weeks!
