Boodles British Gin is a brand of gin bottled and distributed in the United Kingdom by the company of James Burrough. It is a 45.2% alcohol product (90.4 proof) although it was previously bottled at 47.2% alcohol (94.4 proof).[1] It is exported to the United States from London, England, and bottled for American consumption by Boodles British Gin Co. in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
History
Boodles was named after Boodle's gentlemen's club in St. James's, London, founded in 1762 and originally run by Edward Boodle. It was reputed to be the favourite gin of the club's most famous member, Winston Churchill,[2] though the same has been claimed for Plymouth Gin.[3]
Boodles was originally bottled in the United States by Joseph E. Seagram & Sons. Distillers Corporation acquired Joseph E. Seagram & Sons in 1928, and changed its name to The Seagram Company Ltd. In 2000, Seagram's assets were later sold to companies like Pepsico, Diageo and Pernod Ricard. Today, Boodles is produced by Chivas Brothers for Pernod Ricard, USA.[4]
Flavor and evaluations
Boodles is a juniper and coriander based gin. It is famous for having one of the more understated juniper flavors among the top gins distilled in Great Britain[citation needed]. In the 19th century, Boodles was very popular in British colonies that had tropical climates.[citation needed] It was mixed with tonic water that contained quinine as a remedy against malaria.
Wine Enthusiast, an American magazine, reviewed Boodles in 2004 and gave it a respectable score of "90-95".[5]
At the beginning of 2012 Pernod Ricard announced their disposal of Boodles Gin to Trade Wind Brands of Proximo Spirits, New Jersey.[6]
