Distiller Notes
Langley’s Distillery was founded almost a century ago by the Palmer family. Here they have been developing and producing some of the finest award-winning gins in the world since 1920, but Langley’s No. 8 is the first time they have allowed the distillery’s name to be used on a product.
A unique recipe of 8 secret botanicals; including juniper berries from Macedonia, coriander seeds from Bulgaria, sweet orange and lemon peel from Spain, cassia bark from Indonesia and ground nutmeg from Sri Lanka, all picked at their freshest, and then distilled in a single, small batch distillation.

This complex, balanced gin has a citrusy, lightly sweet palate, hinting at grapefruit and delivering a faint, pleasing white floral note. The finish offers citrus and spicy zing.
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.
