Gordon's Mediterranean Orange Gin / 37.5% / 0.7l

Alexander Gordon, a Londoner of Scottish descent, is considered the pioneer of London Dry gin.

He developed his formula in 1769, when England was flooded with poor quality gin. Today, Gordon's is the absolute leader in gin sales; in 2022, the brand recorded global sales of 7.7 million cases. Exactly one hundred years earlier, the rights to it were acquired by DCL (Distillers Company Limited), it currently belongs to Diageo and since 1998 it has been produced in Scotland, at the Cameronbridge Distillery. Alexander Gordon set high standards for his creation, which are maintained to this day - every year the company tests about 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 licorice. 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 Mediterranean Orange Gin debuted in April 2020. Its formula supposedly dates back to 1929 and combines strong notes of juniper and pine needles with the sweetness of Mediterranean oranges. We recommend serving it with Schweppes tonic, a slice of orange and a sprig of rosemary.
