It's five times distilled, combining orange peel, coriander, angelica, lime, cassia and nutmeg botanicals.

The ICP found the use of two decimal places “unusual” and “intentional” and noted that it appeared without a percentage sign which “framed the number as a historical date reference in the context of King William of Orange”. Nil by Mouth explained: “In the context of Glasgow, the city topped the table for number of religiously aggravated arrests every year, in many of which alcohol played a part, and that issues with religious prejudice since the reformation were indisputable. This Act was intended to encourage English distillers to fill the demand left by French Brandy's sudden disappearance, and by charging a low excise duty on the spirits produced help fund the war. In 1638 Theodore De Mayerne, the man latter dubbed 'The Father of English Distilling', a noted physician and alchemist joined Thomas Cademan, physician to the Queen, to found The Worshipful Company of Distillers, one of the City of London livery companies to this day. However, it has already proven too sour for some with a member of the public complaining to the Portman Group’s Independent Complaint Panel (ICP) that the labelling played to “sectarian elements” in western Scotland and in Northern Ireland.In 1726, he wrote a pamphlet on behalf of London's Company of Distillers entitled, 'A Brief Case of the Distillers, and the Distilling Trade in England, Showing how Far it is the Interest of England to Encourage the Said Trade'.

A complaint made by a member of the public against the wine brand for “causing serious offence” has been upheld by the Portman Group’s Independent Complaint Panel (ICP).

It said: “The combination of elements on the label were likely to be divisive and inflammatory and would further fuel division in certain communities where religiously aggravated crime was still prevalent. Upon taking the throne and prior to the infamous Battle of The Boyne, King William, a fan of the Dutch spirit introduced a number of laws to encourage gin production including an import tax which resulted in the spirit being cheaper than a pint of beer. The social responsibility body and regulator for alcohol labelling, packaging and promotion in the UK upheld the objection finding the imagery to be “divisive and inflammatory”. A peel of skin from a vibrant orange - blood orange when in season - a vegetable peeler works best for this.The recipe, which was amazingly uncovered in the British Library's rare book section, lists the original ingredients but unfortunately, the quantities were concealed by code, which proved unbreakable. In the 1900s the gin palaces evolved into cocktail and dance venues as cocktails became very popular in the 1920s and 30’s. These tended to be large scale operations and there were only a few of them, most being situated in greater London and represented by the Worshipful Company of Distillers. In the first, 'malt distillers' distilled malted barley and other cereals to produce what are known as 'low wines'.
