Kwame Mensah on Hibernation Gin

8/10

Strong and characterful

At 45% this London Dry has more presence than many competitors. The juniper backbone is solid and the botanical balance is well-judged. Hibernation Gin is a characterful spirit that rewards attention.

Daniel Oyama on Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin

10/10

Indian Gin at Its Finest

Jaisalmer is a stunning achievement in Indian craft gin. At 43% ABV the London Dry style is enriched with warm Indian botanicals to create something truly world-class. The golden city deserves this tribute.

Annika Svensson on Edinburgh Cannonball Navy Strength Gin

9/10

Cannonball by Name and Nature

At 57.2% this hits with real force but Edinburgh have managed to keep it incredibly smooth. Bold juniper and spice, with a warmth that builds beautifully. A proper Navy Strength gin.

Zoe Chen on Dyfi Original Gin

7/10

Earthy but Narrow

The Welsh Biosphere botanicals at 45% give it an earthy character that may be too pronounced for some. It's a well-made London Dry but the herbal profile feels a bit narrow.

Natasha Volkov on Tarquin's Strawberry and Lime Gin

10/10

Strawberry Perfection

Tarquin's have created the ultimate strawberry gin. The lime provides the perfect counterpoint, the fruit is authentic, and the Cornish craft is evident. At 38% it's a flavoured gin without equal.

Jackson Wu on Ki No Tea Kyoto Dry Gin

9/10

Japanese Tea Meets Gin

Ki No Tea brings the elegance of Japanese tea ceremony to gin-making. At 45.1% ABV this London Dry has an extraordinary green tea character that's delicate, complex, and utterly Japanese. Stunning.

Daisy Miller on Villa Ascenti Gin

8/10

Italian craft quality

The Italian approach to London Dry is all about finesse, and Villa Ascenti at 41% delivers exactly that. Light, elegant, and well-balanced. A gin that whispers rather than shouts.

Annika Svensson on Kyro Dark Gin

8/10

Finnish dark character

Kyro's barrel-aged approach at 42.6% brings Nordic darkness to gin. The meadowsweet cranberry with birch and orange peel creates something unmistakably Finnish. A Barrel-Aged gin with real provenance.

Isabella Rossi on Booth's Finest Dry Gin / Bot.1959

8/10

Gentle vintage elegance

The decades have been kind to this Booth's. At 40% the London Dry character is gentle and refined — the juniper has mellowed into something almost floral. A beautiful vintage gin experience.

Clara Johansson on Bone Idyll Barrel Aged Gin

9/10

Beautifully Barrel-Aged

Bone Idyll's barrel-aged gin at 45% ABV is a gorgeously smooth spirit. The oak maturation has added vanilla, honey, and a golden glow while the gin botanicals remain vibrant and present.

Marco Andretti on Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin

7/10

Interesting but Rough

The Hebridean character at 46% is certainly distinctive but I found it a bit rough around the edges. The wild botanicals can be intense and the maritime notes are quite pronounced.

Olivia Park on Tanqueray No.Ten Gin / Litre

8/10

Premium in a Bigger Bottle

Everything you love about Tanqueray No. Ten in a generous litre format. At 47.3% the London Dry excellence is undeniable. Fresh citrus and juniper in perfect balance.

Suki Patel on Hayman's Old Tom Gin: A Faithful Revival of Gin's Sweeter Side

8/10

Gently sweet and warming

The nutmeg warmth and cinnamon on the nose set up expectations that the palate beautifully delivers. The angelica adds earthy depth beneath the liquorice sweetness. A well-crafted Old Tom at 40%.

Daniel Torres on Boatyard Old Tom Gin

8/10

Historic Style, Modern Quality

Old Tom gin is having a revival and Boatyard's version at 41% ABV is a worthy ambassador for the style. Gently sweet, properly botanical, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Emily Thomas on Gilbey's London Dry Gin / Bot.1970s

9/10

A forgotten classic

Gilbey's was once one of London's great gin names and this 1970s bottling at 40% shows why. Even after decades, the London Dry quality shines through. The mellowed botanicals create an elegant, smooth spirit.

Oscar Delgado on The Orientalist Gunpowder Gin

10/10

A Gin Like No Other

The Orientalist Gunpowder Gin is a revelation. At 40% ABV the smoky gunpowder tea, warming spices, and London Dry juniper combine to create something truly extraordinary. One of the world's great gins.

Olivia Park on Mermaid Gin

8/10

Distinctive and Smooth

What sets Mermaid apart is the rock samphire — it gives this London Dry at 42% a subtle saline, coastal quality. Combined with the smooth spirit and bright citrus, it's a distinctive pour.

Tariq Hassan on Greenall's Original Gin / Bot.1980s

10/10

Superb 80s Vintage

This 1980s Greenall's is a magnificent piece of London Dry gin heritage. At 40% ABV the classic profile is perfectly preserved — clean juniper, balanced spice, and an elegant dry finish. Wonderful.

Thomas Weber on Sipsmith London Dry Gin — The Small-Batch Revival That Changed Everything

8/10

Textbook London Dry

This is London Dry done right. Bold juniper, coriander seed warmth, angelica root earthiness — everything in its proper place. At 41.6% it's rounded and generous. The marmalade citrus is a lovely flourish.

Amira Benali on Roku Gin

8/10

Quality in every detail

From the hexagonal bottle to the carefully balanced 43% ABV, Roku shows Suntory's obsessive attention to quality. This London Dry is clean, refined, and subtly Japanese. Every detail has been considered.
