You Need To Try City Of London Dry Gin

The superb, City of London, distillery bagged the Double-Gold Award at the San Francisco Spirits Competition 2017. It should also be added that other gins from City of London Gin are also racking up the awards fast! Plus, this may just be one of our favourite gins of the moment and a certain contender for wowing when it comes to Spring and Summer evening parties and gatherings!

Based in the heart of the City, City of London Gin can be found just off Fleet street, where two copper stills produce both gin and vodka during the day. In the evenings, the establishment actually opens as a bar, giving a true celebration of their produce.

The City of London Dry Gin is made in small batches on site and is packaged in elegant, 700ml bottles. In the essence of a classic London Dry, this is enjoyably citrusy with the presence of fresh orange, lemon and pink grapefruit throughout. Plus, there is the typical juniper prowess you would expect. Super clean on the palate and wonderfully clear in the glass, this gin has a lot of class. The balance of the botanicals is also an exciting one, with parma violet, orris root, liquorice and others combining for a memorable experience for the senses. Full tasting notes below.
