One of the best new gins to arrive from the U.K., this 87-proofer is one to watch. The nose tenders starbright aromas of lavender, tangerine, ginger, and jasmine before a coating of vanilla and marshmallow greets the palate. Exquisite floral notes are dotted with white pepper.

For fans of Downton Abbey, this gin hails from the owners of Highclere Castle, where the series was filmed, and made with botanicals inspired by those grown in the Castle's herb garden. Look for a citrusy aroma and demure hints of pink peppercorn, mint and lavender, plus a mouthwatering salinity. A floral note emerges on the mentholated exit.
Produced only in accordance with strict purity standards formulated by an 18th century European Parliament that guaranteed the absence of toxic distillation byproducts, the phrase “London Dry” on a bottle doesn't refer to any specific place of origin, age or ingredients. To be called a London Dry Gin, the base spirit must be distilled in a column still to at minimum, 70% abv. Natural botanicals can be added to the resulting neutral spirit only through re-distillation. Anything added after distillation other than water and a tiny amount of sugar disqualifies a Gin from the title, London Dry.
