London Dry Gin

London Dry Gin is the icon of the gin world and remains the quality benchmark for other styles. It’s defined by a dry, clean taste with pronounced juniper, a citrus lift, and fresh herbal notes. It’s produced from a grain spirit, with botanicals like juniper, coriander, angelica, cardamom, and orange and lemon peel added during distillation.

What “London Dry” means

Despite the name, this gin doesn’t have to be made in London – “London Dry” refers to the production method, not origin. No artificial flavours, sweeteners, or colourings may be added after distillation. Every drop comes solely from natural botanicals, giving the gin its exceptionally clean, dry profile.

The classic base of modern cocktails

London Dry Gin emerged in the 19th century as distillation technology improved, yielding a smoother, more balanced spirit—perfect for the new cocktails that became legends.

It remains essential to classics like the Gin & Tonic, Martini, and Negroni, and it also shines neat over ice.

Where to next

If you enjoy bolder, more aromatic profiles, explore dry gin with a citrus-forward character, or barrel aged gin, matured in oak for gentle vanilla and woody nuances.
