Queen Elizabeth’s Buckingham Palace Gin sold out in 8 hours – but will Meghan Markle be sent a bottle for her birthday in August?

Booze fit for a queen? Long a favourite of the British royal family, the new official Buckingham Palace Gin, priced at US$51, promises to provide the ‘perfect summer thirst-quencher’ – but what does it actually taste like?

Queen Elizabeth has launched her own royal gin label, aptly named Buckingham Palace Gin, to help raise money to conserve her extensive art collection, known to be the largest private collection in the world.

According to Buckingham Palace Shop’s Instagram last week, the queen’s newly launched gin carries plenty of citruses and herbal notes, as it is made from 12 botanicals, such as lemon verbena, hawthorne berries and mulberry leaves, hand-picked from the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
