Interesting historical piece
While undeniably better than modern Gordon's, this 1950s bottling at 47.3% has lost some freshness over the decades. The juniper is still strong but the supporting botanicals have faded. More of a collector's item than a great drink now.

Vintage at full strength
At 47.3% this 1950s Gordon's has so much more going on than the modern version. Rich juniper, complex botanicals, and a full body that makes today's offering feel watery in comparison.
