Gin - all dry gins inc. London Dry

Core

London, Scotland, Spain, United States, Japan, Germany, Australia

Famous For

Negroni

Gin, Campari, sweet vermouth. Three equal parts that changed the world.

Martini

Gin, dry vermouth. The most debated drink in history needs no introduction.

Gin And Tonic

Gin over ice, tonic water poured long. Colonial medicine turned universal ritual.

ABV40-47%

Sub-styles

London Dry Plymouth New Western Contemporary Distilled

Tasting Notes

Juniper (pine, resinous), coriander (citrus-spice warmth), lemon and orange peel (brightness), angelica root (earthy dryness, binds other flavors), cassia bark (cinnamon warmth), cubeb pepper (black pepper bite). London Dry hits juniper-citrus-spice in that order. New Western leads with florals, fruits, or exotics. The nose announces the style — if you can't smell juniper first, it's probably New Western.
