Berry Brothers Ginger Liqueur 750ml

Berry Bros. & Rudd Spirits Manager Doug McIvor (PICTURED ABOVE) plays a crucial role in the creation and curation of the company's renowned spirits program, Berrys' Own Selections. McIvor has helped create some of Berry Bros.' most iconic spirits in recent years, including the Blue Hanger series of whisky and a range of rums from various regions.Prior to the opening of many famous whisky distilleries during Victorian times, merchants such as Berry Bros. & Rudd would source casks of various spirits to satisfy demand from their customers as preferences changed over time. In the late 1700s, brandy and soda was the chosen spirit-based drink of the wealthy London gentleman. By the Napoleonic wars between 1803 and 1815, supply was restricted and scotch whisky became a popular alternative. Later in the century, the phylloxera bug decimated French vine stocks and as a result it was a boom time for scotch whisky.
