Bulldog Gin

I like the look of the bottle, and of course the name. It looks like it comes in at $25 a bottle, which isn't horrible. Drinkhacker.com has a review of it HERE, and says that it's smooth enough to drink solo. I might have to try and find a bottle soon, and give it a shot.

Here's the press release:

The Gin category has just gotten a heavy dose of sex appeal with the arrival of Ultra Premium BULLDOG London Dry Gin. Having launched auspiciously in the Chinese “Year of the Dog”, BULLDOG stands to be one of the proudest and most exciting newadditions to the spirits market. Quadruple distilled, BULLDOG carries an exotic mélange of  botanical flavors, including licorice, lavender, lotus leaves, Poppy and Dragon Eye, giving it an incredibly seductive fruit and citrus bouquet.

Hand-crafted in London, BULLDOG is a London Dry Distilled Gin, infused with the taste and aromas of its selected botanicals, using traditional copper pot stills. As part of the process, gin is passed through a condenser and liquefied to produce the natural and unmistakable essence of this ultra-premium spirit. It exhibits a smooth and harmonious texture, with a distinctive flavor and
refreshingly crisp character. Said to boost skin vitality and promote sexual stamina, Dragon Eye – an ancient Chinese secret – is just one of the many uncommon elements in BULLDOG. With its smoked-grey tinting, broad shoulders and the iconic spiked collar around its neck, BULLDOG Gin is housed in an eye-catching bottle that is sure to improve the landscape of any bar or store.

BULLDOG Gin was founded by Anshuman Vohra, a former J.P. Morgan Investment Banker. The gin was engendered out of Vohra's quest to create the ultimate versions of his favorite cocktails, the Dirty Gin Martini and the Gin & Tonic. Says Vohra: "Being Indian, Gin is practically in my blood. Fortunate to have lived all over the world, I developed a palate for exotic flavors, so I wanted to make a gin that satisfied this desire for the unusual, but, of course, it had to improve upon my favorite cocktails.”
