Gordon’s London Dry Gin is one of the world’s best-selling and long-standing gins, first crafted in England in
1769 by Alexander Gordon. It is distilled using a neutral grain spirit with a fixed blend of botanicals — juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, and citrus peels (lemon, orange) among them. Bottled at
37.5% ABV in many markets, its recipe emphasizes drinkability, clarity, and a profile that works both neat and in cocktails.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Crystal clear, colourless spirit with full clarity.
-
Aroma: Strong juniper up front, followed by fresh citrus peels (lemon, orange), light herbal notes, and subtle spice (coriander, angelica).
-
Palate: Clean and crisp; juniper remains dominant, citrus zest, herbal backbone, mild bitterness with a touch of earthy coriander and licorice‐root.
-
Finish: Dry and moderately long; lingering juniper and citrus, with a hint of spice.
-
ABV: 37.5%
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy with plenty of ice and premium tonic water; garnish with a wedge or slice of lime or lemon for classic G&T. Also works well in cocktails such as a Gin & Soda, Tom Collins, or Gimlet. Because of its balance and moderate strength, it’s a reliable mixing gin. என’s nifty with citrusy mixers or herbal/fruit‐infused versions, and neat for those who like juniper boldness.
