The Prince of Wales teamed up with Oxford Artisan Distillery for the 40 proof gin, made with a hint of lavender, sage and thyme harvested from his flower beds, according to master distiller Cory Mason,who spoke with the Daily Mail.

“It is traditional, elegant, refined, but with complex herbal notes of a traditional English garden,” Mason told the Daily Mail.
