Clara Johansson on Incognito London Dry Gin

6/10

Too Understated

The name 'Incognito' is apt — this London Dry at 40% is so understated it almost disappears. It's competently made but lacks the personality or distinction to make an impression.

Sophia Laurent on Devil's Botany London Dry Gin

9/10

Surprisingly impressive

I picked this up on a whim and was genuinely impressed. Devil's Botany at 40% is a London Dry with real character — the juniper is assertive and the botanical balance is spot on. A devil of a good gin.

Jason Steel on Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin

8/10

Italian Cherry Charm

The sour cherry character is unmistakably Luxardo — rich, tart, and genuine. At 37.5% ABV it's on the lighter side, but the flavour intensity compensates. Makes a cracking Negroni variation.

Freya Lindqvist on Portofino Dry Gin

10/10

Italian Gin at Its Finest

Portofino Dry Gin is a love letter to the Ligurian coast. At 43% ABV the locally grown juniper, lemon, lavender, and rosemary create a London Dry of extraordinary beauty and character. Bellissimo.

Kwame Mensah on Hibernation Gin

8/10

Strong and characterful

At 45% this London Dry has more presence than many competitors. The juniper backbone is solid and the botanical balance is well-judged. Hibernation Gin is a characterful spirit that rewards attention.

Clara Johansson on Never Never Triple Juniper Gin

7/10

One Note but Done Well

The triple juniper concept is clever but it does make for a somewhat one-dimensional drinking experience. It's all juniper, all the time. Beautifully made at 43%, but I crave more botanical variety.

Sibel Nur on Mousehall Sussex Dry Gin

10/10

Sussex at Its Very Best

Mousehall Sussex Dry Gin is a triumph of English small-batch distilling. At 43.2% ABV the London Dry style is executed with grace and skill. Herbal, juniper-rich, and utterly delightful.

Gianluca Ferro on Booth's Finest Dry Gin / Bot.1950s

7/10

Charming but showing its age

A fascinating piece of gin history from the 1950s, though the years have taken a slight toll. The London Dry character is still discernible at 40%, but some of the brighter notes have faded. More of a collector's piece than a daily pour.

Simon Hughes on Conker Spirit Dorset Dry Gin

8/10

South coast charm

This London Dry at 40% has a charm that's hard to pin down — perhaps it's the Dorset air or the local botanical character. Whatever it is, Conker Spirit have bottled something genuinely appealing.

Farah Abboud on Edinburgh Botanics' London Dry Gin

8/10

Botanical Garden Inspiration

Inspired by Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden, this London Dry at 43% showcases a diverse botanical profile. Herbal and fresh with nice complexity. A fitting tribute to its namesake.

Aria Kim on Cero2 Pure Gin

9/10

Purity of expression

There's something admirable about a gin that commits so fully to purity. Cero2 at 40% strips away the noise and lets clean juniper and careful distillation speak for themselves. Understated excellence.

Aiko Tanaka on Brecon Special Reserve Gin

8/10

Classic Welsh Spirit

Brecon deliver a proper London Dry at 40% ABV. Nothing revolutionary, just honest gin-making with good juniper character and a clean, dry profile. Wales should be proud.

Adaobi Eze on Bluecoat Gin

8/10

Citrus and juniper interplay

The interplay between bright citrus and juniper at 47% is well-judged. Bluecoat's London Dry profile is clean and modern, with the American distilling approach bringing its own personality.

Sara Lindstrom on Only Gin

8/10

Beautifully Fragrant

The combination of hibiscus, violet, rose petals, mallows, and lavender at 43% ABV is inspired. Only Gin is fragrant and elegant, with each floral note distinct yet harmonious.

Diana Cruz on Dyfi Original Gin

8/10

Sense of Place

Few gins have as strong a sense of place as Dyfi Original. At 45% the London Dry style is enriched with local Welsh botanicals that add genuine character and distinction.

Ingrid Holm on Ransom Old Tom Gin: The Barrel-Rested Beauty That Bridges Gin and Whisky

10/10

The definitive Old Tom

Ransom Old Tom at 44% is the gold standard for the style. The malted grain, aged honey, barrel vanillin, and assertive juniper create something extraordinary — rich, complex, and deeply historic. The long, warming finish with vanillin oak and dry juniper-spice fade is perfection. Every gin enthusiast needs a bottle.

Samir Patel on Archie Rose Signature Dry Gin: Australia's Native Botanicals, Beautifully Harnessed

8/10

Layers upon layers

Vibrant and layered is the perfect way to describe this. The lemon myrtle brightness hits first, then the river mint coolness, then the dorrigo pepper warmth. Beautifully constructed from start to finish.

Ethan Cooper on Plymouth Navy Strength Gin — Proof and Providence at Black Friars

10/10

The Definitive Navy Strength

Plymouth Navy Strength at 57% ABV is simply the greatest Navy gin ever made. The juniper, coriander seed, orange and lemon peel, and angelica root combine with breathtaking intensity and grace. Perfection.

Zoe Chen on Principe de los Apostoles Mate Gin

10/10

Revolutionary Argentine Gin

Principe de los Apostoles is one of the most original gins on the planet. The yerba mate at 40.5% ABV creates a London Dry of extraordinary character — green, herbaceous, bitter, and utterly magnificent.

Tariq Hassan on Lind and Lime Gin

8/10

Zesty London Dry

The lime sets this apart from typical London Drys. At 44% it's zesty and vibrant with proper juniper structure. A gin with a great story and even better flavour.
