Haswell London Distilled Dry Gin 70 cl / 47 % UK

The classic London Dry Gin with fresh citrus flavor comes directly from the metropolis of gin: its inventor gave it not only his last name, but also nine botanicals from around the world.

The story of how Julian Haswell came to design and produce Haswell London Dry Gin remains a bit of a mystery. However, it is known that the premium beverage in the oddly shaped, minimalist, yet stylish bottle comes straight from London. For a "London Dry Gin", however, that's not what gives it its name - of key importance is that no sweetening products, colorings or flavorings have been added to the drink. Instead, it consists of 100% plant-based ingredients. In the case of the Haswell version, these include juniper berries, angelica root, coriander seeds, savory, lemon peel, grains of paradise, bitter orange peel, sweet orange peel, and licorice root (licorice), in addition to the base alcohol. Mr. Haswell sources the botanicals from Europe, Haiti, China, and North and West Africa. He firmly believes that the classic ingredients of juniper, angelica root and coriander make up a true London Dry Gin and should never be missing. Finally, the peels of sweet and bitter oranges from Morocco provide the fresh citrus flavor.
