London Dry Gin

The icon of classic gin. London Dry Gin is the most famous and popular category of gin, renowned worldwide. This type of gin is characterized by its dry taste and purity, achieved through distillation with natural botanical ingredients, with juniper always being the dominant component. Additionally, citrus fruits, coriander, angelica, cardamom, and other herbs and spices are often added, creating a harmonious flavor profile.

Despite its name, London Dry Gin does not have to be produced in London or even in the United Kingdom. The name refers to the style and method of production, which follows strict rules. No artificial flavors or sweeteners are allowed to be added after distillation. The result is a gin with a precise flavor profile, making it the foundation for many iconic cocktails such as Gin and Tonic, Martini, or Negroni.

The history of London Dry Gin dates back to the 19th century, when its production was refined thanks to new distillation technologies. This style has become synonymous with quality and elegance and remains one of the most preferred types of gin to this day.

Among the most famous London Dry Gins are Beefeater, Tanqueray, and the Spanish Cubical Gin, notable for its cube-shaped bottle.
