Gordon's London Dry Gin 350ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (3 reviews)You want a gin and tonic that just works ? This is it. Gordon's is the bottle that taught the world what a G&T should taste like: piney, fresh, with a lemon-zest snap and a little black-pepper kick. Pour it over ice, top with tonic, and it does all the heavy lifting. The 350ml is the perfect grab when you don't need a whole big bottle on the shelf, just enough for the night ahead. And if it's already half past gin o'clock, we'll have it at your door fast.
Crack it and the juniper hits first, that clean pine-and-fresh-herb smell that says proper gin. Underneath there's a bright lift of lemon and orange peel, with a soft rooty, earthy warmth from angelica and a whisper of liquorice. On the tongue it's juniper-forward and zesty, with a peppery little bite that wakes everything up. The finish is dry and clean, more piney juniper and candied lemon, nothing sticky or sweet hanging around. Gordon's runs heavier on juniper than almost any other gin, so it tastes bold and properly gin-y, never timid.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it comes from
Gordon's goes all the way back to 1769, when Alexander Gordon set up his distillery in London. He was a juniper obsessive, and that obsession is still the whole point: this recipe has stayed a closely guarded secret ever since, known to only a handful of people. The botanicals, juniper, coriander seed, angelica, orris root, liquorice and a hit of citrus peel, get run through copper pot stills. It went on to become Britain's best-selling gin and a benchmark London Dry the world over. Not bad for one man's love of a little blue-black berry.
