Clara Johansson on Aviation American Gin: The Lavender Maverick That Changed American Gin

9/10

Floral without being fussy

What I love about Aviation is the restraint. The lavender is there but never perfumy. The anise and sarsaparilla add earthiness, the cardamom brings warmth. A Contemporary gin with real class.

Olivia Park on Sacred London Dry Gin Certified B-Corp

9/10

Innovation with integrity

Sacred's combination of vacuum distillation, B-Corp certification, and genuine quality at 40% is admirable. This London Dry is clean, precise, and ethically made. A gin you can feel good about buying and drinking.

Camila Ortiz on Jim and Tonic Kraft Hopped Grapefruit Gin / Small Bottle

8/10

Bitter and zesty

The hop bitterness with grapefruit zest creates a refreshing, adult flavour profile. At 42% this London Dry has enough juniper backbone to work as gin while being genuinely innovative.

Zoe Chen on Nikka Coffey Gin: Japanese Citrus Mastery From a Whisky Legend

8/10

Japanese citrus showcase

The way this layers yuzu, kabosu, and amanatsu with apple sweetness is masterful. Orange peel and lemon peel round things out, while the angelica provides earthiness. At 47% it's got serious presence.

Penelope Hart on Tobermory Gin

8/10

Coastal and Herbal

There's a lovely salt-air quality to this gin that sets it apart. The London Dry style at 43.3% ABV is well-executed, with herbal botanicals that echo the wild Mull landscape.

Tyler Bennet on Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin

8/10

Rugged and Beautiful

Like the island itself, this gin at 46% is rugged and beautiful. The flavoured style incorporates Hebridean botanicals that add maritime and herbal notes to the juniper backbone.

Gianluca Ferro on Devil's Botany London Dry Gin

10/10

Devilishly brilliant gin

Devil's Botany at 40% is a London Dry that punches well above expectations. The botanical blend is devilishly clever — clean juniper with perfectly judged supporting players. The dry finish is immaculate. Don't let the modest ABV fool you — this gin has real depth and character. Outstanding.

Ayako Hirano on Gordon's London Dry Gin/ Bot.1950s / Spring Cap

9/10

Gordon's golden era

This 1950s spring-cap bottling represents Gordon's at its finest. At 40% the London Dry profile has mellowed beautifully — the juniper is soft but present, the botanicals are integrated. A window into gin's golden age.

Tariq Hassan on Mermaid Gin

9/10

Premium Island Spirit

Mermaid Gin at 42% ABV is one of England's finest London Drys. The rock samphire adds a unique coastal note, the citrus is bright, and the juniper backbone is solid. A stunning achievement.

Olivia Wong on Hendrick's Neptunia Gin

10/10

Neptune would approve

Hendrick's Neptunia at 43.4% is a masterwork. The coastal, maritime character is woven through the Hendrick's template with extraordinary subtlety — mineral freshness, saline whispers, and ocean air. Combined with that signature cucumber and rose, it creates a London Dry of breathtaking beauty. Worth every penny.

Erik Strom on Manchester Signature Gin

10/10

A signature worth knowing

Manchester Signature Gin at 42% is a London Dry that punches well above its weight. The botanical balance is impeccable, the juniper is bold and confident, and the clean, dry finish is exemplary. This gin puts Manchester firmly on the distilling map. An absolute triumph.

Daniel Oyama on Buton Dry Gin / Bot.1950s

7/10

Historical but Faded

It's undeniably fascinating to taste a 1950s gin, and the 45% ABV has preserved much of the character. However, some of the brighter botanical notes have inevitably softened over seven decades.

Tyler Bennet on Malfy Gin Con Limone: Italian Sunshine in a Bottle, With a Caveat

8/10

My limoncello alternative

When I want that Italian lemon flavour without the sweetness of limoncello, Malfy Con Limone is perfect. The dry juniper close keeps it refreshing, and the cassia warmth adds unexpected depth.

Jorge Castillo on Mousehall Sussex Dry Gin

8/10

Sussex Countryside Spirit

Mousehall captures the spirit of Sussex in this London Dry at 43.2% ABV. There's a lovely pastoral quality — hedgerow fruits, wild herbs, and clean juniper. A charming country gin.

Gianluca Ferro on Nicholson Blood Orange Gin

9/10

Outstanding Blood Orange Gin

Nicholson have created a blood orange gin of exceptional quality at 40.3%. The citrus is bright and authentic, and the historic London Dry base gives it more depth than most flavoured competitors.

Marcus Blackwell on Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin: Tea-Spiced and Characterful, If Not Quite Revolutionary

8/10

Bold and characterful

That green earthiness on the nose from the gunpowder tea is immediately captivating. The palate delivers with tea tannins meeting citrus brightness and cardamom warmth. A Contemporary gin with real personality.

Annika Svensson on Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin: The Yarra Valley Benchmark

9/10

Complex and warming

Every sip reveals something new. The coriander and cardamom on the palate give way to that long, warming finish with Tasmanian pepperberry. The cinnamon spice lingers beautifully. One of Australia's finest.

Clara Johansson on Tarquin's Rhubarb and Raspberry Gin

8/10

Fruity and Balanced

The balance between rhubarb tartness and raspberry sweetness at 38% ABV is spot-on. A well-made flavoured gin that tastes of real fruit. Great for summer cocktails.

Emily Thomas on Le Tribute Gin

9/10

Outstanding Value Premium

Le Tribute at 43% ABV offers premium London Dry quality at a fair price. The citrus and herbal character is beautifully expressed and the Spanish craft is evident. Highly recommended.

Natasha Volkov on Booth's Dry Gin / Bot.1970s

8/10

Step Back in Time

Tasting a 1970s Booth's is a wonderful experience. The London Dry style at 40% ABV is simple and effective — juniper, a touch of citrus, and a clean spirit. Gin as it used to be.
