London Dry Gin: the essence of the classic British spirit
London Dry Gin is the archetype of gin, a category that embodies the quintessence of British spirit. Despite the potentially misleading name, this style of gin does not necessarily have to be produced in London; rather, it is defined by a rigorous production method and a distinctive aromatic profile.
The history of this gin dates back to the 18th century, when the quality of gin production began to improve significantly thanks to the introduction of new distillation techniques and quality regulation. London Dry Gin quickly established itself as a favorite for classic cocktails due to its ability to blend harmoniously with other ingredients, without ever losing its identity.
The production process of London Dry Gin is characterized by a single distillation in which botanical aromas, primarily juniper, are added to the base alcohol before distillation. It is important to note that the addition of sweeteners or artificial flavors after distillation is not permitted, thus ensuring a clean and dry final product. In addition to juniper, citrus and spice notes are often perceived, giving the gin its fresh and lively character.
London Dry Gin stands out for its balanced organoleptic profile, with a clear body and an aromatic structure that enhances the typical notes of juniper berries, accompanied by subtle hints of coriander, angelica, and lemon peel. The result is a dry and decisive taste, perfect for gin and tonics or more sophisticated cocktails like the Martini.
