Berry Bros & Rudd celebrates Kingsman film

To celebrate the launch of new film Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Berry Bros & Rudd has released a limited edition bottling of its No3 London Dry Gin.

Several scenes from the new film, which stars Colin Firth, Halle Berry and Channing Tatum amongst other famous faces, were filmed at Britain’s oldest wine and spirits merchant, Berry Bros & Rudd in St James Street, London.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle includes scenes shot in the historic premises at No3 as well as in the Napoleon Cellar beneath St James’s Street.

5,000 bottles of the Kingsman Edition No3 London Dry Gin became available to buy online and at the company’s new shop at 63 Pall Mall on Monday 18 September.

Packaged with a subtle nod to director Matthew Vaughn’s blockbuster, the limited-edition No3 Gin has been bottled at navy strength (49% ABV) and will retail for £42.

Creative director Geordie Willis says: “The qualities needed to make a Kingsman are not dissimilar from those required of our London Dry Gin. Sophistication, integrity and style are paramount.”

The gin will also be available for a short time from 22 September in London’s renowned Martini bar, Dukes.

To celebrate the collaboration, Berry Bros & Rudd has teamed up with Dukes’ head barman Alessandro Palazzi to offer a pair of winners an exclusive Martini Masterclass. Martini maestro Alessandro will show the competition winners how to create the perfect Martini using Kingsman Edition of the No3 Gin. The winners will also receive a complimentary bottle of the limited-edition gin.
