How is London’s Dry Gin made?

How is London’s Dry Gin made?

Using juniper berries that have been matured for eighteen months – to intensify the flavours – Gordon’s London Dry Gin is handcrafted by Master Distiller, Terry Fraser.

With over 35 years of experience, Terry ensures that every bottle is made to the same exacting standard that Alexander Gordon set more than a quarter of a century ago.

Using a triple distilled, high-quality neutral grain spirit, the liquid is passed through copper pot stills with botanicals and demineralised water.

The gin runs through the still for eight hours, with the quality and consistency carefully monitored through regular ‘nosing’ by the Master Distiller.

Gordon’s London Dry Gin has a higher juniper content than almost any other gin, giving it its distinctive, crisp taste. That’s why it’s known as the 'ginniest of gins' – a title it has held for over 250 years.

Why Gordon’s is Iconic
