Only one bottle featuring a commemorative label was sold to mark the occasion and to raise much needed funds for The Drinks Trust Charity.
The label was designed and specially created by world-renowned London based goldsmiths and silversmiths, Royal Warrant holder Thomas Lyte. It was made from solid 9 carat gold and embellished with a precious ruby, honouring the long time affinity of the brand with the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London and celebrating the crowning of the new monarch.
The bottle carries the all important official hallmark to certify the quality of the gold, one of the first to feature the new king’s commemorative mark, guaranteeing the provenance and confirming all legal standards of purity and fineness were upheld to the highest standards.
All proceeds from the Beefeater Crown Royal Charity Auction are to raise funds for The Drinks Trust.
