Oscar Delgado on Portofino Dry Gin

9/10

Riviera Perfection

The combination of Portofino-grown juniper, lemon, lavender, and rosemary is inspired. At 43% this London Dry is aromatic, herbal, and utterly Mediterranean. Every sip is a mini holiday.

Daniel Oyama on Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin

10/10

Indian Gin at Its Finest

Jaisalmer is a stunning achievement in Indian craft gin. At 43% ABV the London Dry style is enriched with warm Indian botanicals to create something truly world-class. The golden city deserves this tribute.

Nils Bergman on Fallen Angel Blood Orange Gin

8/10

Blood orange done well

Fallen Angel nail the blood orange character. It's bold, genuine, and backed by a secret mix of botanicals that includes proper juniper. At 40.6% this Flavoured gin has enough backbone to work in cocktails.

Amira Benali on The Botanist Islay Dry Gin: Wild Hebridean Foraging in a Glass

9/10

Islay terroir in a bottle

The Botanist captures Islay's wild landscape at 46%. The dried gorse flowers, heather honey, and apple mint create something no other gin can replicate. Cassia bark and cinnamon bark add warmth. The long, warming finish is magnificent.

Gianluca Ferro on Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin Gold Edition

6/10

A bit too subtle for me

The Gold Edition promises a lot but I found it slightly underwhelming at 43%. The Indian botanical influence is there but restrained to the point of being hard to detect. Decent enough London Dry but doesn't justify the premium price.

Olivia Park on Gin Mare

9/10

Spanish Mediterranean Gem

Gin Mare captures the essence of the Mediterranean coast. At 42.7% the rosemary, thyme, olive, and basil create a London Dry that's uniquely savoury and herbal. A game-changer in the gin world.

Dmitri Volkov on Wacholderbar Styrian Apples & Elder Gin

9/10

A hidden gem

This deserves far more attention. The combination of crisp Styrian apples, delicate elder, and proper juniper at 44.7% is inspired. It's a London Dry that surprises and delights in equal measure.

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.

Yuki Nakamura on Tarquin's Seadog Navy Strength Gin

9/10

Cornwall's most powerful gin

Tarquin's Seadog at 57% is Cornwall bottled at maximum intensity. The botanical profile is vivid and coastal, the juniper is explosive, and the finish goes on forever. A Navy Strength of extraordinary character.

Gianluca Ferro on Devil's Botany London Dry Gin

10/10

Devilishly brilliant gin

Devil's Botany at 40% is a London Dry that punches well above expectations. The botanical blend is devilishly clever — clean juniper with perfectly judged supporting players. The dry finish is immaculate. Don't let the modest ABV fool you — this gin has real depth and character. Outstanding.

Gianluca Ferro on Drums London Dry Gin / Bot.1970s / Ingham

9/10

Rare 1970s Italian Gin

This 1970s Drums bottling from Ingham is a rare piece of Italian gin heritage. At 40% ABV the London Dry character is preserved beautifully — deep juniper with a rich, complex profile.

Camila Ortiz on Rathbone New London Dry Gin

6/10

New but not improved

Rathbone's New London Dry at 40% aims to modernise the London Dry template but doesn't quite succeed. The profile is clean but lacks distinctiveness. At 40% ABV the botanicals feel a bit thin. The 'new' approach doesn't offer enough to differentiate it from countless other London Drys.

Sophie Brennan on Thomas Dakin Small Batch Gin

8/10

Reliable Quality

Thomas Dakin consistently delivers a well-balanced London Dry. Nothing flashy, just quality gin-making with proper juniper character. A great all-rounder for G&Ts and martinis alike.

Carlos Mendez on Sincere Bouganvillea Organic Gin

8/10

Bougainvillea is a nice touch

The bougainvillea botanical is unusual and adds a gentle floral note to this 47% London Dry. The organic approach results in a clean, pure spirit. A gin with genuine integrity.

Gianluca Ferro on Pollination Gin

7/10

Novel concept, mixed results

The wild pollination approach is fascinating conceptually, but in practice the London Dry comes across as slightly muddled at 45%. Some batches are brilliant, others less so. The inconsistency is part of the charm, I suppose, but it can be frustrating.

Yasmine Najjar on Roku Japanese Craft Gin: Seasonal Precision From Suntory's House of Harmony

8/10

Suntory's gin triumph

From the makers of Yamazaki whisky comes a Contemporary gin of real distinction. The cherry blossom and yuzu at 43% are captivating, and the sansho pepper warmth on the medium-long finish is lovely.

Ravi Krishnan on Booth's Finest Dry Gin / Bot.1959

8/10

Vintage London character

Booth's was once one of London's great gin houses and this 1959 bottling at 40% shows why. Even aged, there's a quality and balance here that speaks to proper gin-making. The London Dry style in its purest form.

Penelope Hart on Greenall's London Dry Gin

8/10

Honest British gin

Greenall's makes no pretence about what it is — an honest, affordable London Dry at 37.5%. The juniper is there, the finish is clean, and the price is right. British gin heritage done accessibly.

Petra Novak on Martin Miller's Winterful Gin

9/10

Perfect Winter Companion

Martin Miller's have nailed the seasonal gin concept. Winterful at 40% is warming, spiced, and deeply comforting. It turns a simple G&T into a cold-weather treat.

Oscar Delgado on Chase Rhubarb and Apple Gin

8/10

English orchard character

The apple comes from Chase's Herefordshire farm heritage and you can taste the authenticity. Combined with tart rhubarb at 40%, this Flavoured gin has genuine English orchard character. The potato spirit adds smoothness.
