About Beefeater
Beefeater is the world's most iconic London Dry gin and the only international gin brand still distilled in London. Founded in 1862 when pharmacist James Burrough purchased a Chelsea distillery for £400, Beefeater has remained true to its original recipe since 1876. Named after the Yeomen of the Guard who protect the British Monarch, Beefeater represents over 160 years of London gin-making heritage. The distinctive Beefeater recipe combines nine carefully selected botanicals: juniper, angelica root, angelica seeds, coriander seeds, liquorice, almonds, orris root, Seville oranges, and lemon peel. This unchanged formula creates the bold, citrus-forward flavour that made Beefeater the gin of choice in America, where by the 1960s three out of every four imported gin bottles were Beefeater. Now owned by Pernod Ricard since 2005, Beefeater continues to be hand-crafted at the historic Kennington distillery in South London. The brand has expanded to include Beefeater 24, a super-premium expression featuring Chinese green tea, Japanese sencha, and grapefruit peel steeped for 24 hours. The distillery welcomes visitors to experience London's gin heritage firsthand. At Grocefully, we help you compare Beefeater prices across major UK supermarkets.
