This edition is crafted precisely to our original recipe, first written down at Mount Mary, Bombay, in 1947. Alongside our classic botanicals, cinnamon takes centre stage, lending a warming spice and a gently lingering finish.
The original recipe gave us a gin full of fragrant spices and fresh citrus fruits – just the way they liked it in the days of the Raj. With notes of cardamom, coriander, clove and cinnamon spice leading to a crisp, refreshing and long finish.
Crafted from juniper, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, fennel, anise, cloves, lemon and lime peels.
Since 2014 we've won over 50 awards for Pickering's Gin.

An excellent Gin, my all time favorite

My favorite gin. The flavor of cinnamon gives an outstanding aroma and taste. My preference for drinking is with a splash of a good unflavored tonic and lashings of ice. I will be purchasing more!

Friends came to visit so had to get some orange top in. Remains my favourite tipple (although I do miss the 1ls)

I have been a fan of Pickering's Original 1947 gin for many years and bought 2 one litres recently. The taste is exceptional, I love the 'exotic' taste and have experimented with orange, raspberries and strawberries as an accompaniment. They are work wonderfully well. As you can see the bottle is nearly empty. Top up coming soon!!

Love the slight kick of spices when drinking this gin, so different from the floral kinds. Absolutely my favourite - perfect for special occasions with special friends, if we can restrain ourselves till then!

I found Pickerings 1947 gin during lockdown and its been my favourite gin ever since. It's got a great "colonial" taste of cardamon and coriander. I haven't tasted anything better. Buying online is so easy and the shipping is always very quick
Tina S. 5/5 Verified
Great gin as always. Online ordering didn’t work well and delivery delayed. Never mind, still a great gin!
Don B. 5/5 Verified
Web site makes ordering easy, delivered when promised, great Gin.
David M. 5/5 Verified
As I have said many times to friends and family, this is my No.1 gin and I buy it in twos or threes now because the litre bottles are no longer offered. Can’t see why and there are a few previous messages lamenting their absence. Can we start a campaign?! I was told that you couldn’t get the glassware for the litre bottles but glass is glass right?😳 ANYWAY, keep on pushing the 1947 blend out and I will keep buying it but give the litre bottles a comeback. Thanks
