Hogarth’s The Rake’s Progress was the inspiration for Beaufort London newest addition to their Revenant collection, Rake and Ruin. The paintings, based on a play of the same title, illustrate the fall of a young man of means into debauchery and penury. Using a 30% concentration, Beaufort London Rake and Ruin is premised on gin, with its distinctive, medicinal-herbal bite. And, sure enough, in the opening, gin – juniper berry, alcohol and a woody, damp branch smell – swashbuckle their way out of the bottle. The damp wood has an aged feeling, like ship planks or whiskey casks. As the gin coalesces around this woody accord, something distinctly animalic – castoreum — pounces on the top notes and turns them suede-like.
