Gordon London Dry Gin 1 Litre

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. It is owned by the British spirits company Diageo. It is the world’s best-selling London dry gin. Gordon’s has been the UK’s number one gin since the late 19th century. A 40% ABV version for the North American market is distilled in Canada. Gordon’s London Dry Gin was developed by Alexander Gordon, a Londoner of Scots descent. He opened a distillery in the Southwark area in 1769, moving in 1786 to Clerkenwell. The Special London Dry Gin he developed proved successful, and its recipe remains unchanged. Popular with the Royal Navy, bottles of the product were distributed all over the world. According to its manufacturer, Gordon’s gin is triple-distilled and is flavored with juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, licorice, orris root, orange, and lemon peel; the exact recipe has been a secret since 1769. The recipe differed from others at the time in not requiring the addition of sugar; this made it a “dry” gin.
