BOTANIC PREMIUM

Botanic Premiun is one of the three gins produced in London by the company Williams & Humbert is distilled in Langley Distillery distillery of English cult, founded in Birmingham in the year 1920, on some ancient natural water springs. Elaborated with an exceptional grain quality thanks to its 14 100% natural botanicals, which come from many parts of the world, its three distillations, it is made by hand in a hundred-year-old copper stills by the traditional English process.

Intense aromas of citrus, almond notes, fresh on the palate, plus spicy notes of chardadmomo. Its smooth and equiped taste, London Dry type and its careful selection of botanists make it unique, elegant and balanced.

The history of Bodegas Williams & Humbert began almost 130 years ago. They participated in the creation of the Denomination of Origin Jerez-Xérès-Brandy, and to this day, the winery is recognized as one of the most prestigious producers in the world.

Founded in 1877 by Sir. Alexander Williams, great connoisseur and admirer of the products of Jerez, and Arthur Humbert, specialist in international relations.

Since then part of the wines and brandies of the house have been conserved in oak boots of the highest quality (soleras). These form the basis of the current development and aging of each of the wines and brandies of the Bodegas Williams & Humbert.

In the 60s, José Medina founded the first winery that bears the same name as its president, to which, 2 years later, his brothers Nicolás, Angel and Jesús join.

The business, which is mainly developed in foreign markets, is growing through collaboration agreements with different purchasing companies until the year 1979 in which it forms a partnership with the Dutch multinational Royal Ahold, through the Luis Páez Company. This association and subsequent collaboration agreements allow the family to increase its presence in Jerez, arriving in a few years to be among the first companies marketing sherry worldwide. Since the beginning of the business, characterized by its aggressiveness and good business, they are acquiring different brands that enhance and multiply the capabilities of the family and its partners, being the last acquisition the international Williams & Humbert, which today gives its name to all family businesses.

Relations between the Medina family and the Dutch multinational Ahold go back to 1979, the year in which Ahold takes a 50% stake in Luis Páez S.A. (now Bodegas Williams & Humbert S.A.), a winery owned by the Medina brothers. The Medina family reached an agreement in 2005 with Royal Ahold to acquire the other 50% it had in that company. Through this, the Medina family consolidates the management of the businesses of which it has already been responsible with the ownership of the capital stock of the parent and subsidiaries.
