In the heart of London, where cobbled streets and copper stills share the same skyline, Beefeater London Dry Gin has stood as a guardian of tradition since the 1800s. Inspired by the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London, those iconic ‘Beefeaters’ who protect the crown, this gin embodies both heritage and bold character. First crafted by pharmacist turned distiller James Burrough, it remains one of the last gins still made in the capital, distilled with the same stubborn pride it started with.

Beefeater London Dry Gin 70cl
Brand: Beefeater | Category: London Dry Gin | ABV: 40% | Origin: London, England | Vol.: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Crisp and classic, bright juniper upfront, laced with zesty lemon peel, earthy coriander, and a whisper of almond. Like stepping into a spice merchant’s stall on a spring morning.
Palate: Bold and balanced. Juniper dominates but gives way to orange zest, licorice root, and a hint of angelica. Clean, dry, and refreshingly herbaceous with a crisp mouthfeel.
Finish: Long, dry, and satisfying with lingering citrus oils and a gently warming spice, inviting yet assertive.

Production Details:
Beefeater is made using nine carefully selected botanicals and a traditional steeping process that lasts 24 hours before distillation in copper pot stills. This slow, intentional method extracts deep flavor and keeps the gin’s profile precise and consistent, essential for a spirit used in countless classic cocktails.

Perfect For:
A timeless G&T on a rooftop bar at sunset, or mixed into a dry martini with an olive twist while jazz crackles from a vinyl in the background. It's made for purists, but ready for anyone.

Expert Notes:
Named the world’s most awarded gin, Beefeater continues to be a bartender’s go-to for its reliability, clean character, and ability to shine in both simple and complex drinks.

Customer Reviews:
“The gold standard. If I’m making a gin cocktail, this is the backbone.”
“Reminds me of my grandfather’s martini, sharp, clean, unforgettable.”

Interesting Fact:
Despite its global fame, every drop of Beefeater is still made in London, inside the Kennington distillery, just as it has been for over 150 years.

Serving Suggestions:
Pair with a classic tonic and a wedge of lemon or orange to highlight the citrus notes. Feeling adventurous? Use it in a negroni or a French 75 to showcase its dry complexity.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1863, Beefeater is now distilled under the watch of Master Distiller Desmond Payne, one of the most respected figures in gin-making. The distillery blends Victorian-era charm with modern expertise, delivering a gin that has stayed remarkably true to its original London roots.
