A bottle of Booth's Ultra Special Dry Gin, sealed in the original tin produced by British Can Ltd. The tin features an illustration of part of Booth's distillery in England, as well as an image of a toast being raised at a formal dinner party.
We estimate this was bottled in the 1920s to 1930s, either during Prohibition or shortly after the repeal in 1933.
Due to the proliferation of bootleggers producing counterfeit alcohol during Prohibition, it was common for companies to sell bottles in sealed, tamper-proof tins to ensure consumer confidence in the product.
The original key to open the container is missing.
Please note there is no stated size or ABV.
Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note wear and damage to the tin. The bottle inside is not visible, so we cannot guarantee the contents.
This item weighs approximately 1.5kg.
Note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. Older bottles often contain small amounts of sediment. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
