Gordon's Distiller's Cut - A “luxury” version of the gin, released in 2004, with additional botanicals of lemongrass and ginger. As you can tell from the picture above, Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% is almost identical in appearance to Gordon's Special Dry London Gin. I’d say the biggest pleasure is in the routine — putting the ice in the glass, pouring the gin, adding the tonic, garnishing and drinking. And in the same way long-term vegetarians insist that the aforementioned fake meat is indistinguishable from the real thing, I think that long enough drinking Gordon’s Alcohol free could convince you that this is what gin tastes like. Both of our testers are gin lovers who were both planning on doing Dry January until this taste test assignment came along, which they couldn't resist.
However, I did sort of miss the slight astringency of real gin when you’ve added the tonic. While the juniper and quinine bitterness does keep the fake stuff adult, there’s a certain va-va-voom missing here. In the children's classic Danny, the Champion of the World (1975) by Roald Dahl, the main character and his best school-chum unwittingly catch their headmaster refilling what they'd always thought was a water-glass from a bottle of Gordon's Gin. The two boys privately discuss the matter afterwards, and agree to keep quiet about the man's being an alcoholic, since their headmaster has always been good to them. The design is immediately recognisable as Gordon's, but there's little chance of mixing up the non-alcoholic version with its boozy counterpart. TasteThis is a perfect companion to those doing Dry January, those who've made a new year’s resolution to ditch alcohol, or folk fancy filling a gin-shaped hole but don’t want morning headache. In April 2020, it was announced that Gordon's were launching an orange flavoured gin. The two latest additions to their collection of flavoured gin are a tropical passionfruit gin and a morello cherry gin which were released on March 15, 2022.

On 11 February 2013, Gordon's announced the release of Gordon's Crisp Cucumber, blending the original gin with cucumber flavour. [15] In early 2014, Gordon's Elderflower was added to their "flavoured" gin collection, with a natural elderflower flavouring being added to the original recipe. Bradbury, Sarah (26 February 2020). "Gordon's gin is releasing a new Sicilian Lemon flavour for spring". Mirror. Gordon's is a brand of London dry gin first produced in 1769. The top markets for Gordon's are the United Kingdom, the United States and Greece. [1] It is owned by the British spirits company Diageo. It is the world's best-selling London dry gin. [2] Gordon's has been the UK's number one gin since the late 19th century. [3] A 40% ABV version for the North American market is distilled in Canada. [4] History [ edit ] The Cameron Bridge Distillery in Scotland where Gordon's is producedGordon's goes hard on the latter, including a lot of that specific sort of lemoniness that keeps you thirsty and leaves a pleasant, sweet aftertaste. Paired with tonic (or lemonade, in fact) it’s a very nice drink, and one suggestible enough that you can get creative with your garnishes. I opted for some lemon peel and fresh basil leaves, which added a nice dimension to it, while blush orange and star anise (above) worked a treat, too. It's also important to know that Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% isn't entirely devoid of alcohol. Gordon's says that it contains no more than 0.015% ABV, so there is in fact a trace of alcohol in each bottle. Fifty-Fifty, Martini, Dry Martini, Perfect, Piccadilly, followed by Manhattan, San Martin, Dry San Martin and Bronx. [5] Best of all, you can drink it while writing a review and make it to the end coherently. Cheers to that.
However, unless you’re as ditzy as me, you probably don’t care a jot what the bottle looks like. It’s all about how it tastes, after all. Gordon’s, you will be unsurprised to know, claims to be the “World’s Favourite Gin”. Whether or not that’s true is up for debate, but it certainly is the world’s best-selling gin, which is a pretty stellar achievement when you take into account the fact that the spirit's popularity has been on the rise for nigh on a decade. So it really comes down to whether or not you think drinks like this offer significantly more sophistication than a typical soft drink. If you do, then this is the best value for money you’re going to get. Is Gordon's Alcohol Free gin healthier than regular gin? Johnnie Walker owner Diageo has launched an alcohol-free variant of Gordon’s gin made using the same botanicals as its core London Dry expression. Gordon’s 0.0% is made with the same botanicals as the brand’s London Dry gin To put that into context - an entire 70cl bottle of Gordon's 0.0% contains less than 0.1 units of alcohol. Calories in gin: how does alcohol-free compare?Per 50ml (a double shot), Gordon's London Dry Gin — the stuff you're most likely to buy on supermarket shelves — contains 104 calories. A can of regular tonic will probably take that up to around 170 calories, while a can of slimline will take it to around 120. Gordon's is sold in several different strengths depending on the market. In the US, the strength is 40% ABV. Until 1992, the ABV in the UK was 40%, but it was reduced to 37.5% to bring Gordon's gin into line with other white spirits such as white rum and vodka, and to save the manufacturer the cost of excise duty, which is charged by reference to ABV. Other popular brands of gin in the UK, such as Beefeater Gin and Bombay Sapphire, are both 40% ABV in the UK. In continental Europe and in some duty-free stores, a 47.3% ABV version (Traveller's Edition) is available. In New Zealand and Australia, as of 2011, Gordon's is sold at 37% ABV, [14] while in Canada it is 40% ABV and South Africa it is 43% ABV. Ch, Victoria; ler (20 July 2017). "Gordon's has released a new gin – and it's pink!". Good Housekeeping. The first thing I’d like to praise Gordon’s for is the fact that its non-alcoholic gin is very clearly distinguishable from its boozy counterpart.
In 1904 the distinctive square-faced, green bottle for the home market was introduced. In 1906 Gordon's Sloe Gin went into production. The earliest evidence in recipe books for the production of Gordon's Special Old Tom was in 1921. [5] After a December that can only be described as concerningly boozy, my taking part in Dry January has felt as much of a necessity as it has a choice. It’s also given me the ideal opportunity to write a Gordon’s Alcohol Free Gin review. This special distillation process is a closely guarded secret, known only to a handful of people and we are incredibly proud to be bringing gin drinkers that juniper-led taste they’re expecting from Gordon’s when they choose not to drink alcohol.”In 1925 Gordon's was awarded its first Royal Warrant by King George V. [5] In 1929 Gordon's released an orange gin, and a lemon variety in 1931.
