London Dry Gin


London Dry Gin refers to the strictest gin category, in which all flavour comes from redistilling neutral alcohol in the presence of botanicals, led by juniper. No flavouring or colouring may be added after distillation, and sugar is capped at 0.1 grams per litre. The term denotes a method rather than a place. This aromatic purity makes it the foundation of the dry martini and the gin and tonic.
