Boss Derek Bowen also recalled how he once, quite literally, ran into the future monarch as a child.

Moonshine & Fuggles, in Ironbridge, which is run by Derek Bowen, has come up with a limited edition Kings Coronation Gin.

Mr Bowen said he had even been told that particular tipple had been seen on the bar in the royal household at Windsor – by a member of royal staff who had visited the shop.The latest gin, which was distilled in Brierley Hill at the West Midlands Distillery, is described as 'an old school dry gin' with a double helping of juniper – and a host of botanicals to reflect the King's own well known passion for nature.

The bottles, which cost £42.95, will go on sale on a first-come first-served basis at 10am on Saturday. Mr Bowen said he hoped King Charles III would enjoy the drink, and also revealed he had even bumped into the future monarch as a child in the 1970s.
