It’s beGINning to look a lot like Christmas! And what better way to kick off the festive season than catching up with friends over a cheeky G&T or two? With parties, gifts and relaxation on the horizon, raise a glass this December with one of the world’s best-loved, quality gins.
Gordon's London Dry Gin definitely knows a bit about tradition and quality. Ever since the brand's founder, Alexander Gordon, revolutionised the image of the spirit in 1769, the recipe for Gordon’s has remained unchanged, making it a truly timeless classic that’s enjoyed across the world.
Without further ado, here are six reasons why, when it comes to gin, Gordon's London Dry Gin really is the spirit of Christmas quality... Shall we?
- Old enough to remember nearly 250 Christmases, Gordon's London Dry Gin continues to win annual accolades - just this year picking up double gold in the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
- One of the first gins to be served with tonic, Gordon's London Dry Gin quite literally puts the 'g' in G&T.
- The ‘ginniest’ of gins: the high juniper content (and fact that only 10% of juniper berries are good enough to make the grade for Gordon's) means that the taste of Gordon's London Dry Gin is a classic as gin can be.
- Still made in the same way it has always been. Gordon's London Dry is made in one of only four, dedicated stills. We know our craft.
- Remaining THE BEST, even with your eyes closed: Gordon’s London Dry Gin came first on TV’s Tried & Tasted gin edition – renowned chefs and critics, called out the quality and taste of Gordon’s London Dry Gin when conducting a ‘blind’ taste test against other gins.
- And it doesn’t end with Gordon’s London Dry Gin.. the taste and quality can be enjoyed across the portfolio of Gordon’s products, including Gordon’s Premium Pink Distilled Gin and Gordon’s Sloe Gin as well as its pre-mixed cans of Gordon’s London Dry Gin and Tonic - perfect for those train journeys home for the festive season!
