The UK has undergone a gin craze as of late with many different brands and types of gin flooding the market and changing how people view them and drink them. With all these new gins it can be a bit difficult to assess which are the best (though I am imagine most experienced gin drinkers know their favourite!), Here is a list of 3 of the best gins available in the UK.
Gordons Gin
Gordon's London Dry Gin was established in 1769 by Alexander Gordon as he set out on a mission to produce a gloriously-flavoured gin worthy of carrying his family name. Gordon believed that success lay in the perfect combination of pure distilled grain spirit and rich botanicals. To this day Gordon's is distilled to this same exacting standard and the product is triple-distilled to guarantee the purity of the gin. The exact blend of our botanicals remains a closely guarded secret with a combination of handpicked wild juniper berries, coriander, angelica and liquorice. The attention to detail results in a distinctive flavour that mixes perfectly in long drinks and cocktails. To savour the great taste for yourself, mix a Gordon's and tonic and garnish with lime. It's the classic long mixed drink, ideal any time, but especially good when enjoyed with friends.
Bombay Gin
For the more adventurous, Bombay Sapphire pairs brilliantly in many cocktails, such as the Bombay Bramble, which uses Bombay Sapphire, Crème du Mure (blackberry liqueur) and lemon juice. Bombay Sapphire Gin is created through a unique vapour-infusion process, our ten precious botanicals are brought together to create a gin with a complex, yet perfectly balanced flavour profile.
Beefeater Gin
One of the world's best-selling gins, Beefeater London Dry is distilled in a traditional London dry style. Using fine botanicals and master distiller James Burrough's original recipe from the 1800s. Shaped by nine all-natural botanicals: juniper, Seville orange peel, bitter almonds, orris root, coriander seeds, angelica root, liquorice, angelica seed, and Sicilian lemon peel. Beefeater London Dry Gin has a remarkably clean flavour, with a bold juniper character that is balanced with strong notes of citrus. Beefeater has won more "best gin" awards than any other brand. An ideal gin to enjoy with the tonic of your choice or in your favourite gin cocktail
