Product Information

Gordon's London Dry Gin was developed by Alexander Gordon, a Londoner of Scots descent. [5] He opened a distillery in the Southwark area in 1769, moving in 1786 to Clerkenwell. [5] The Special London Dry Gin he developed proved successful, and its recipe remains unchanged. [6] [ failed verification] Popular with the Royal Navy, bottles of the product were distributed all over the world. [7] The Vesper " Summer Fruit Cup". Summerfruitcup.wordpress.com. 4 July 2010 .

In 1904 the distinctive square-faced, green bottle for the home market was introduced. In 1906 Gordon's Sloe Gin went into production. The earliest evidence in recipe books for the production of Gordon's Special Old Tom was in 1921. [5]Gordon's is sold in several different strengths depending on the market. In the US, the strength is 40% ABV. Until 1992, the ABV in the UK was 40%, but it was reduced to 37.5% to bring Gordon's gin into line with other white spirits such as white rum and vodka, and to save the manufacturer the cost of excise duty, which is charged by reference to ABV. Other popular brands of gin in the UK, such as Beefeater Gin and Bombay Sapphire, are both 40% ABV in the UK. In continental Europe and in some duty-free stores, a 47.3% ABV version (Traveller's Edition) is available. In New Zealand and Australia, as of 2011, Gordon's is sold at 37% ABV, [14] while in Canada it is 40% ABV and South Africa it is 43% ABV.

According to its manufacturer, Gordon's gin is triple-distilled and is flavoured 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. [6] Bradbury, Sarah (26 February 2020).
