King's Ginger is made from a distillate of macerated ginger root and lemon peel and was first launched in 1930s but benefitted from a packaging facelift...
Wholeheartedly agree with all the below comments.
I only discovered the original Kings Ginger a few years back and it rapidly became one of my favourite tipples. Great drunk neat, in a ginger Martini, long with soda, whatever to your fancy.
Sang its virtues to many friends who also loved it and started buying it.
The revised recipe and reduced alcohol is simply not a patch on the original. It is now overly sweet and un-balanced.
Very disappointed..
