Beefeater
Beefeater was created by James Burrough, a Devon-born pharmacist who bought the Chelsea Distillery on Cale Street in London in 1863. The Beefeater name appeared in the 1870s and refers to the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London, giving the gin a distinctly London identity. Production later moved to Lambeth in 1908, then to Kennington in 1958, where Beefeater is still distilled today.
