The Royal British Legion Poppy Gin has been created by [Burleighs Gin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burleighs-raspberry-edition-gin) as a Remembrance Day-themed spirit that will help to support veterans year-round and offer consumers a high-quality product to enjoy. The gin will be available exclusively from The Royal British Legion's Poppy Shop at a price point of £34.99 and will see 100% of the profits donated to the charity. This will make the spirit a product consumers can feel good about, while the high-quality nature of the libation positions it as [perfect for cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beefeater-grapefruit).

Master Distiller at Burleighs Gin Charlie Hendon spoke on the new The Royal British Legion Poppy Gin saying, "It’s an honor to create a gin to support all the fantastic veterans and the armed forces community we have in Britain. Whilst the Poppy Appeal is a long-standing and well-recognised campaign, with the current times we’re living in and the Covid-[19](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/19-crimes-tempranillo) pandemic hindering fundraising efforts, we want to ensure funds are raised and this is the best way we know how.”
