Based on the award-winning London dry recipe, this 4th Edition takes on a smoked style with the addition of Lap Sang and coriander seeds smoked at the famous Yorkshire-based Staal Smokehouse.

Known locally as ‘The Plant', Doncaster Railway Works was established by the Great Northern Railway in 1853. Locomotive Superintendents included Patrick Stirling (1886-1895), Henry Ivatt (1895-1911) & Sir Nigel Gresley (1911-1923).

Among the locomotives produced were the Stirling Singles, the Ivatt Atlantics & the Gresley Pacifics, including the world-famous No.4472 Flying Scotsman (the 1st authenticated steam loco to achieve 100mph) & No.4468 Mallard (world's fastest steam loco @126mph).

Smoked in style, Doncaster Railway Works - Steam Locomotive Edition, is traditionally distilled in small batches using a copper alembic still.

Doncaster natural spring water, honey & lavender are skilfully balanced with Lap Sang & carefully selected classic & smoked botanicals, resulting in a superbly smooth, versatile & refreshing gin with a smoky finish.
