Good but Showing Its Age
There's genuine quality here and the 45% ABV still carries the botanicals well, but time has softened some of the edges. The juniper remains but the citrus brightness has faded somewhat.

Gin History in a Bottle
This 1970s Nicholson is absolutely magnificent. The London Dry character is pristine — bold juniper, complex spice, and a dry elegance at 45% that modern distillers would kill to achieve. Extraordinary.

Vintage Gin at Its Best
A beautifully preserved piece of gin history. The London Dry profile is robust and juniper-forward at 45%, with a depth and complexity that only decades of maturation in glass can bring.

Classic 70s Character
Nicholson was a serious name in gin and this 1970s bottling shows why. Rich juniper, earthy root notes, and a dry finish. The 45% ABV gives it lovely weight.
