Blue Bottle London Dry Gin 47%, 70cl

Product Information

Yet, it is the final step, an infusion of rose petal and cucumber before bottling, that has come to define this gin. It, too, is slightly overproofed, bottled at 42 percent ABV (84 proof), so it's not as delicate as it's often made out to be. It is one of the newer names in this tight market, having launched in 1999, yet it has quickly risen to the ranks of the best gins available.

The butterfly pea blossom balances the traditional citrus notes of the gin with a warm herbal earthiness. You may consider spirits harder than beer because of their alcohol content, but Matt would disagree - distilling spirits proves much easier than brewing beer.

Never mind the cider, Bristol hasseveral gin distilleries to its nameand plenty of places to drink this splendid spirit. The majority feature some degree of the pine flavor that comes from juniper, which is gin's signature ingredient, yet no two bottles have the same combination of botanicals. Tanqueray's crisp, dry style is the benchmark for a London dry gin without any citrus in the botanicals. Up your gin game at one of their special events or make it your life’s mission to work your way through their impressive gin list.

Reminiscent of an old apothecary medicine bottle, its design takes inspiration from the prohibition era, said to have given rise to the term from which Bathtub Gin takes its name.Sip a refreshing gin and tonic whilst taking in the sights and sounds of Bristol's harbourside at sunset - quite the combo don't you think?
