-8%You know that hit of fresh lemon zest when you peel one? Bottled, basically, with a backbone of proper juniper gin underneath so it never tips into sweet. Pour it long over ice with tonic and it's the easiest yes of the night, sharp, zesty, a little sherbety, and gone too fast. The 1L means you're not rationing it at the second round.
The nose is all bright Sicilian lemon, floral and a touch minty, with the juniper sitting just behind it. First sip, the lemon takes over: lemon zest and oil, a squeeze of lemon verbena and lemongrass, even a whisper of bergamot. But it's still a gin, so that piney juniper and a faint herbal thyme note keep it dry and grown-up rather than candy. The finish is clean and citrusy and asks for another go.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Gordon's has been making gin since 1769, when Alexander Gordon set up shop in London and built a juniper-forward recipe so good people still copy it. This one takes that same London Dry base, juniper, coriander, angelica, and folds in the zing of Sicilian lemons using all-natural flavours. England's most-poured gin name doing a sunny twist on its own classic.
