Distillation and production

Production method

According to official information, the gin is produced using neutral grain spirit and a selected blend of botanicals; the process involves controlled distillation in copper stills and sensory oversight by the master distiller to ensure consistent aroma and quality.

Distillation

Triple distillation using neutral grain spirit; botanicals are infused/distilled in copper stills under the control of the master distiller to ensure consistency with the London Dry profile.

Producer history Gordon Distillery

The brand dates back to 1769 when Alexander Gordon began producing gin in London; the original recipe and the reputation for a decisive London Dry were consolidated over the following centuries. During the 20th century ownership changed through mergers and the brand eventually became part of Diageo's international portfolio. Historic production was associated with London areas (Southwark, Clerkenwell), while modern production is managed within the group's facilities in the United Kingdom.

Production philosophy

To preserve the consistent, classic London Dry profile established by the founder while offering variants and formats that respond to contemporary tastes and trends (flavour-led variants, ready-to-drink, alcohol-free options), with emphasis on standardisation and global distribution.

Territory
