    Good grief that's certainly into premium territory although it's also "artisanal ponce" price-point that every tiny distillery is trying to get in on like you see in farm/tourist shops... £25 for a 50cl bottle, etc.

    Who on earth would want to consume anything that Farage has had his grubby hands on? I suppose he's desperate for relevance.

    I imagine this will only sell to people buying it as a joke for dinner parties or gifts... buy it for friends who still have "rejoin the EU" FaceBook profile pictures.

    Albanians can come here (relatively easily) on a tourist visa. It's just possible that those who have been previously deported or have serious criminal convictions find this route somewhat difficult.

    He's hoping the fan-bouys like Vetty will be stupid and pay over the odds for what is a basic gin with a bit of food colouring

    What does Stephen Yaxley Lennon say about it? He’s gone quiet.

    It tastes of the success of getting out of Europe which makes it priceless

    The base grain spirit is most likely produced in the Netherlands, however it would be distilled with water, juniper berries and other botanicals in a UK distillery. He's only allowed to call it London Dry Gin if no flavouring is added after the distilling process. You'll learn this stuff if you go on a gin distillery tour, which I highly recommend, and you may even get to taste the raw grain spirit (which is about 85% alcohol), a couple of drops will be more than enough
