Gilbey's London Dry Gin / Bot.1980s / Large Bottle

Priscilla Nunes — Vintage Gilbey's still delivers

8/10

Picked this up at auction and wasn't disappointed. The London Dry profile is textbook — juniper-led with a clean, dry finish. At 40% it's easy drinking. Shows how good mass-market gin used to be.

Camila Ortiz — A taste of gin history

9/10

Beautifully preserved example of 1980s Gilbey's. The juniper is more pronounced than modern versions, with a lovely dry, crisp character. This is what London Dry gin should taste like — honest and well-balanced.

Isla McCallister — Still holds its own

8/10

For a gin that's been sitting around since the eighties, this is remarkably good. Clean, juniper-forward London Dry style. The large bottle format kept it well preserved.
