Talk:Beefeater Gin

Untitled
Hm...the problem with the Yeoman Warder article is that the uniforms are clearly not the ones on the bottle, but the Yeoman of the Guard has good pictures of the uniform. I'll revert for now, I guess. Salanth 10:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a good remark, I'm changing it to Yeoman of the Guard. Cf. Beefeater_(disambiguation): "Beefeater is a term often used to refer to the Yeomen Warders of the Tower of London, but originally referring to the Yeomen of the Guard" (various online dictionaries support the correction of this statement).

ABV
The bottle I have here says 47% ABV. So unless the export product is stronger, I'll be changing this. Counterfit 22:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Likewise, my bottle says 47% ABV also. However the provided photo clearly says 40%. US sources seem to support 94-proof, so I'm guessing it's only the US export that is. I at least changed the proof to 80 for consistency witht he listed ABV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.7.24.5 (talk) 06:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Article is self-contradicting (ABV and proof)
The article is self-contradicting. It says "40% ABV" but 94 proof. One of them has to be wrong. As far as I know, all Beefeater Gin is 94 proof (47% ABV). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.7.24.5 (talk) 05:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC).

I've got a bottle bought in the UK in front of me and it says 40% vol. Tomgreeny 22:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I work in a cocktail bar in Munich, We use Beefeater as our "house" gin, and until today it had 47% alcohol but If you google Beefeater gin Deutschland you can find both though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.135.83.114 (talk) 00:15, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I was curious about the ABV so i sent an email to the company, here is the response:
"Hi David,

Yes the alcohol strength of Beefeater in the USA and Duty Free is 47%. Dutyfree is higher because traditionally this channel sold at higher strength as they were not restricted by tax. The US has historically always been at 47%.

The rest of the world including the UK is at 40%. Both strengths are excellent products and have won numerous awards.

I hope this answers your question.

Kind regard,

Jo Smith" Zanyspydude 13:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't want to spam or anything but "The rest of the world including the UK is at 40%" is either not true or not correct. Examples: http://www.spirituosenstore.de/gin/beefeater-gin-0-7-liter.html http://www.bottleworld.de/gin/beefeater-dry-gin-07-liter.html http://www.bardealer.de/products/Gin/Beefeater/Beefeater-London-Dry-Gin-Maxi-1000-ml-47.html http://www.barfish.de/beefeater-london-dry-gin-47-liter.html

Either that or Germany is now USA and nobody told me

Beefeater Uniform and the label
The website for the Yeoman of the Guard (yeomenoftheguard.com) includes the following comment regarding Yeoman Warders: "On ceremonial occasions they wear the exact same scarlet-red State Dress [as Yeoman of the Guard], minus the cross-belt, but their day-to-day duties are carried out in the Blue Undress" It includes pictures of Yeomen of the Guard State Dress and both State and Blue Undress for the Yeoman Warders. Based on the labels in the article, the picture is indeed a "Beefeater" and not a Yeoman of the Guard. 122.107.58.27 (talk) 05:19, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
