Beefeater London Dry Gin 750ml
Beefeater London Dry Gin is made using founder James Burrough's original 1863 recipe, still distilled today at Beefeater's Kennington distillery in Vauxhall, London, making it the only major London Dry gin still distilled within the city itself. Master Distiller Desmond Payne, honored with an MBE in 2018 for services to the gin industry, upholds the historic recipe with minimal change, macerating nine botanicals, juniper, lemon peel, coriander seed, almond, Seville orange peel, orris root, licorice root, and angelica root and seed, for 24 hours before distillation.
