London Dry Gin

London Dry Gin is a style of gin defined not by its origin, but by its strict production method. Despite the name, it doesn’t have to be made in London—or even in the UK. To qualify as London Dry, a gin must: - Be made from a neutral spirit distilled to at least 96% ABV - Have all botanicals added during distillation (no flavouring after) - Use only natural botanicals—no artificial additives - Contain no more than 0.1g of sweetener per litre post-distillation The result is a crisp, juniper-forward gin with a clean, dry finish. Common botanicals include coriander seed, angelica root, and citrus peel, but juniper must always lead the flavour profile. It’s the benchmark style for classic cocktails like the Martini and Gin & Tonic, prized for its purity and balance.

Gin has a somewhat shady origin. Originating from jenever, which was first used as a medicine in the Belgium and the Netherlands, it has since become renowned for its meticulous distillation process that gives its iconic flavour.
