WARRINGTON’S G&J Greenall are England’s oldest continuous gin distillers – and warrington-worldwide readers have an opportunity to win a bottle of their famous “Greenall’s Original London Dry Gin” in an easy-to-enter competition.
The gin is now produced at a modern distillery in Birchwood after relocating following a disastrous fire at premises off Loushers Lane.
But originally it was produced in Bridge Street where the unique recipe was created by Thomas Dakin in 1761.
Originally called “Warrington Gin” it was an immediate success – partly because of the ease of transportation between Warrington and Manchester and Liverpool, but also because of the drink’s distinctive flavour.
More than 100 years later, the drink was renamed Greenall’s, but continued to be made – as it is today – according to Thomas Dakin’s original recipe
To enter our competition, readers should write to Greenall’s Competition, Warrington-Worldwide, at the New Media Centre, Old Road, Warrington, WA4 1AT or email [email protected] with the answer to the simple question: What year was the recipe for Greenall’s Original London Dry Gin created?
Readers should include their full, postal address and a day time contact number.
Entrants must be 18 years or over.
Closing date March 1st
Win a bottle of Greenall's gin!
