The purple bottle will be available exclusively in Tesco from the beginning of May with an RRP of £28.
To mark the occasion, Sipsmith’s master distiller and drinks historian, Jared Brown, has created a small selection of serves fit for any royal celebration.
The Sipsmith Dubonnet is particularly poignant, as it’s believed that Her Majesty enjoys to sip a gin and Dubonnet every lunchtime.
