Beefeater Crown Jewel, a premium gin created to stand out
An edition that enhances Beefeater’s classic character
Beefeater Crown Jewel is a premium gin designed to offer a more intense and refined expression of the renowned London house. At Licorea, we notice that many gin enthusiasts are looking for options with greater definition, more pronounced botanicals and a firm presence on the palate. This edition fits that profile perfectly, maintaining the brand’s essence while adding depth and complexity. It is a gin crafted for those seeking a higher level within our premium gin selection.
A recipe built upon Beefeater’s classic foundation
The making of Beefeater Crown Jewel begins with the traditional recipe developed by the London distillery. It includes juniper, coriander seeds, lemon peel, orange peel, angelica, orris root and almond. All these botanicals also feature in Beefeater London Dry, but here they are used at a higher concentration. This adjustment provides a clearer aromatic presence. At Licorea, we value this kind of refined recipe because it respects tradition while offering a fresh interpretation of the classic style.
The key role of grapefruit in its identity
Beefeater Crown Jewel places special emphasis on grapefruit, which contributes a brighter aroma and an elegant character. This note does not aim to overshadow the juniper or the other botanicals; its purpose is to add a fresh counterpoint that balances the natural intensity of the spirit. This detail has made Crown Jewel especially appealing to bartenders who seek gins with clearly defined nuances for signature serves. In our catalogue, this profile positions it as a distinctive reference within the premium category.
A distillation process focused on purity
The Beefeater distillery follows a traditional method based on the prior maceration of botanicals in neutral alcohol. This maceration lasts several hours and allows the main aromas to be extracted evenly. After this period, the mixture is slowly distilled in stills with precise temperature control. The result is a clean, crisp spirit with a long finish. This method has been part of Beefeater’s identity for generations. At Licorea, we appreciate this continuity because it ensures consistent quality.
A bottle designed to reflect its premium nature
The design of the Beefeater Crown Jewel bottle aims to express its position within the range. Its shape and colour highlight the idea of a special edition. It is a presentation intended to make an impression and stand out on a bar or display shelf. Those familiar with the gin world often recognise this edition by its striking aesthetic, which mirrors its aromatic style. Many Licorea customers choose it as much for its flavour as for its visual presence.
A defined profile for precise cocktails
The firm character of Beefeater Crown Jewel makes it particularly suitable for cocktails where the gin needs to take centre stage. Its intensity remains present even when mixed with ice or citrus ingredients. This makes it ideal for martinis, dry gin and tonics, or serves in which the botanicals must shine. At Licorea, we see this behaviour as one of the main reasons why professionals regularly rely on this gin. It allows drinks to be created with clear identity without compromising balance.
A highly regarded edition for its refined traditional style
Beefeater Crown Jewel belongs to a select group of premium gins that take a classic recipe and elevate it to a higher level. It does not aim to reinvent the category; rather, it seeks to push tradition further by increasing botanical concentration, giving greater focus to grapefruit and achieving a final balance that preserves the spirit of the London house. At Licorea, we believe this bottle suits those looking for an elegant, serious gin with a firm profile.
