You want a gin that actually tastes like gin. Big piney juniper, a snap of citrus, nothing shy about it. That's Gilbey's. Crack it over ice with tonic and a wedge of lime and you've got a clean, sharp G&T in under a minute. The 350ml is the sweet spot too: enough for a round or two, light on the wallet, and we'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
First whiff is pure classic gin: green, piney juniper with a bright lift of orange zest behind it. Take a sip and it's bold and a little sharp, juniper leading the way, then bitter orange rind and a peppery coriander warmth through the middle. Here's the cheeky bit: there's kalamansi (a little Southeast Asian citrus) and lemongrass in the recipe, so the finish goes lemony and zingy with a faint dry, almost chalky snap that keeps it from ever turning sweet. Assertive, citrusy, properly dry.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Two brothers, Walter and Alfred Gilbey, came home from the Crimean War in 1857 and set up a wine and spirits business in London's Soho. By the early 1870s they'd opened a gin distillery in Camden Town, and that 19th-century English recipe is the one still carried in the name today. The 12-botanical blend, juniper and coriander alongside that unusual kalamansi and lemongrass, is what's kept Gilbey's a bar staple for over a century.
