Antidote London Dry Gin 70cl
Pour this one and the first thing you get is flowers, not a punch of pine. Antidote is the smooth, grown-up gin you reach for when you want your G&T to actually taste of something. Lavender and citrus drift up, then juniper rolls in behind to remind you it's still a proper London Dry. Late night, good company, a single ice-clinking glass that you sip slowly. That's its lane.
The nose leads with soft florals, lavender and orange blossom, before the juniper shows up. Take a sip and it's silky, almost creamy, thanks to the grape base. Bright bitter-orange and lemon keep it lively, then a warm hum of spice closes things out: ginger, cardamom, a whisper of fennel and anise. Seventeen botanicals doing quiet teamwork, none of them shouting. Elegant is the word that fits.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Antidote is French through and through, made by Les Grands Chais de France. The clever bit is the base: instead of the usual grain, it's built on French grape spirit, distilled five times before the botanicals join. That grape backbone is what gives it that rounder, silkier feel. Then come the 17 botanicals, with signature French touches like lavender, fennel and bitter orange folded in alongside the classic juniper. A London Dry style, made the French way.
