It’s not the first time Reynolds and Aviation American Gin have taken the opportunity to make a comedic jab in its marketing.

Sandringham Gin is only available in the U.K. and won’t be shipped internationally. The same is true for the Buckingham Palace Gin the Royal Collection Trust launched over the summer.
Moreover, it can take up to two weeks to deliver Sandringham Gin throughout the 93,628-square-mile country due to the small batches the company will be distilling, the company notes on its product page.
