A collectible 1950s bottling of Gilbey's London Dry at a robust 46.2% ABV, offering a fascinating window into mid-century gin craftsmanship and a compelling case for the classic Dry Martini.

8/10

Opening a 1950s Gilbey's is always an event. At 46.2% this London Dry retains good character — junipery, slightly herbal, with a smoothness that comes from decades of gentle oxidation. A gin to savour slowly.

10/10

This 1950s Gilbey's London Dry at 46.2% is the greatest expression of the brand I have ever tasted. The juniper is deep and resinous, the citrus bright, and the overall complexity is staggering. This is London Dry gin at its mid-century pinnacle. An absolute treasure.

9/10

Even better than the 1960s bottling, this 1950s Gilbey's at 46.2% has a richness and complexity that is simply outstanding. The London Dry character is vivid and commanding. How the mighty have fallen — modern Gilbey's is a shadow of this.
