Gordon's Sicilian Lemon Gin / 37.5% / 0.7l

With annual global sales of 7.7 million cases (2022), Gordon's is the number one gin. 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 since 1998 it has been 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 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 Sicilian Lemon Gin debuted in February 2020. Its formula supposedly dates back to 1931 and combines strong notes of juniper and pine needles with juicy, sun-ripened lemon from Sicily. We recommend serving with Schweppes tonic and a slice of lemon or with lots of ice and lemonade.
