Vlahov Dry Gin / Bot.1950s

Camila Ortiz — Curiosity piece more than great drink

7/10

Interesting to taste a 1950s gin from the Adriatic coast at 45%. The London Dry has character but the decades have dulled some of the botanical vibrancy. Worth trying for the history but do not expect fireworks.

Tomas Rivera — Rare Italian vintage

8/10

A 1950s Vlahov Dry Gin is an unusual find. At 45% this London Dry from Croatia (then Yugoslavia) has a fascinating character — rich, slightly sweet, and very different from British gins of the same era.

Mei-Lin Wu — Dalmatian juniper quality

8/10

Vlahov likely used local Dalmatian juniper in this 1950s London Dry at 45%. The juniper character is rich and aromatic with a distinctive Mediterranean quality. A rare glimpse into Adriatic gin-making.
