Product description
With annual global sales of 7.7 million cases (2022), Gordon's ranks first on the list of the most popular gins.
Its formula was developed in the late 18th century by Alexander Gordon, a Londoner of Scottish descent, at a time when England was flooded with poor quality gin. The DCL (Distillers Company Limited) corporation acquired the rights to the brand in 1922, it currently belongs to Diageo and is produced in Scotland, in the Cameronbridge Distillery. Alexander Gordon set high standards for his creation, which are maintained to this day - every year the company tests around 3 thousand botanical ingredients, of which 90% are rejected due to unsatisfactory quality. Their full list is known to only 11 people, we have heard that among them are juniper berries, angelica and orris root, coriander seeds, orange and lemon peel and liquorice. Gordon's Gin is now available in over 150 countries.
The best-selling version of Gordon's is of course London Dry, but in the last decade the company has significantly expanded its offer of so-called "flavored gins". Gordon's Pink Premium Gin debuted in August 2017. Its formula supposedly dates back to the 1880s and combines the freshness of traditional London Dry with the sweetness of raspberries and strawberries and a delicate aftertaste of red currants. We recommend serving it with Schweppes tonic and a few fresh strawberries, and in Gordon's Pink Spritz (with Prosecco and lemonade).
