Yuki Nakamura on G'Vine Nouaison Reserve Gin

10/10

The most original gin made

G'Vine Nouaison Reserve at 42% might be the most original gin in the world. The grape-spirit base with grape-flower botanical and careful barrel ageing creates a spirit of extraordinary sophistication and complexity. It transcends the gin category entirely. French genius in every sip. Truly extraordinary.

Marcus Blackwell on SW4 London Dry Gin

8/10

South London's Finest

Named after the Clapham postcode, SW4 is a proper London Dry from London. At 40% it's approachable and well-balanced, with clean juniper and citrus. Honest gin-making.

Tyler Bennet on Bone Idyll Barrel Aged Gin

8/10

Golden Aged Spirit

The golden colour from barrel ageing is beautiful, and the flavour at 45% ABV matches the appearance. Rich, warm, and complex with oak spice and botanical depth. A genuine treat.

Derek Chang on Edinburgh Cannonball Navy Strength Gin

8/10

Big Bold Edinburgh

Cannonball lives up to its name. Massive juniper presence with peppery spice at 57.2%. It's intense but never rough. Edinburgh's best expression in my opinion.

Ravi Krishnan on Robert Burnett / Old Tom Gin / Bot.1940s

7/10

Historic but quite mellow

A 1940s Old Tom at 46% is a remarkable piece of gin history. The sweetness that defines the Old Tom style has mellowed substantially over eight decades. The result is gentle and dignified, but lacks the character it must have had when fresh. More museum piece than daily drinker.

Helena Kosta on Tobermory Gin

8/10

Isle of Mull Character

Tobermory Gin captures the rugged beauty of its island home. At 43.3% this London Dry has a maritime freshness and herbal complexity. You can almost taste the Hebridean landscape.

Suki Patel on Empress 1908 Gin: The Colour-Changing Showstopper With Substance Behind the Spectacle

8/10

More than just a pretty face

Yes, the colour is stunning, but there's genuine quality here too. The rose petal sweetness with grapefruit brightness is lovely, and the cinnamon-ginger close adds proper warmth. A well-made Flavoured gin at 42.5%.

Celeste Moreno on Beefeater London Dry Gin — The Kennington Classic That Defined a Category

8/10

Everyday Excellence

For everyday drinking, Beefeater London Dry is hard to beat. The juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice work in perfect harmony at 40%. Clean, crisp, and satisfying.

Finn OBrien on JJ Whitley London Dry Gin

8/10

Supermarket Staple

JJ Whitley proves that good London Dry gin doesn't need to cost a fortune. Clean, crisp, and properly juniper-led at 37.5%. A solid mixer that won't break the bank.

Priya Sharma on Manchester Raspberry Infused Gin

9/10

Best of Manchester Gin

The raspberry-infused expression at 40% ABV is Manchester Gin's standout offering. The berry flavour is genuine and generous, the gin base is solid, and the overall balance is excellent.

Jake Morrison on Bombay Sapphire — The Blue Bottle That Reimagined Gin for a Generation

8/10

Clean and reliable

You always know what you're getting with Bombay Sapphire. Light-bodied, clean, with soft juniper and a gentle warmth from the grains of paradise. The orris root adds just a touch of earthy elegance.

Luna Chavez on Dyfi Navigation Gin

9/10

Welsh Navy Strength Barrel-Aged

Dyfi Navigation at 57% ABV is a barrel-aged gin of extraordinary power and finesse. The oak ageing adds warmth and depth to an already bold spirit. The Welsh Biosphere botanicals shine through the barrel character.

Rafael Santos on Booth's Dry Gin / Bot.1970s

8/10

Reliable Vintage Quality

Booth's was the everyday gin of its era and this 1970s bottling at 40% shows why. Nothing fancy, just well-made London Dry gin that does exactly what you want it to.

Emily Thomas on Canaima Gin

8/10

Venezuelan gin originality

At 47% Canaima is a London Dry with genuine tropical character. The acai, uve de palma, and copuazu bring Amazonian flavours that set it apart from every other gin. Bold, fruity, and completely original.

Grace Kim on Edinburgh Raspberry Gin

7/10

Too Sweet for Regular Drinking

The raspberry flavour is authentic and well-done, but the sweetness level at 40% is a bit much for extended drinking sessions. Good as an occasional treat or in cocktails.

Natasha Volkov on Gunpowder Californian Orange Irish Gin

10/10

Orange perfection from Ireland

Gunpowder Californian Orange at 43% is a London Dry of outstanding quality. The Californian orange sunshine paired with Irish gunpowder tea smokiness creates something magical — bright, warming, complex, and utterly delicious. The Shed Distillery have done it again. A gin that captures two continents in a single sip.

Jake Morrison on Tanqueray No. Ten — The Citrus-Led Evolution of a London Icon

8/10

Classic for Good Reason

There's a reason No. Ten is a bartender favourite. The fresh grapefruit peel, juniper, coriander, angelica, and liquorice create a harmonious and versatile gin. 47.3% is the perfect strength.

Ruth Banks on Sipsmith London Dry Gin — The Small-Batch Revival That Changed Everything

9/10

The craft gin pioneer

Sipsmith helped restart London's craft distilling and the quality shows. The bright, inviting nose with meadow-fresh juniper is gorgeous. Orris root and liquorice add creamy depth. The medium-long finish with warm spice is superb.

Nils Bergman on Silent Pool Gin

10/10

A True Artisan Gin

Silent Pool is one of the finest London Dry gins I've ever tasted. The 43% ABV is ideal, the botanical complexity is extraordinary, and the presentation is world-class. This is gin-making at its absolute best.

Jorge Castillo on Jim and Tonic Roobee Rhubarb Gin / Small Bottle

7/10

Nice but Nothing New

Jim and Tonic's rhubarb gin at 40% is perfectly pleasant, but with so many rhubarb gins on the market, it doesn't bring anything particularly new to the table. The small bottle format is a nice touch though.
