London Dry 47% ABV

Full strength classic
At 47% this 1960s Gordon's has the strength that modern gin drinkers are missing. The London Dry character is full and assertive with rich juniper. The spring cap closure is a lovely vintage detail.

Gordon's golden era
This 1960s spring cap at 47% is Gordon's at its most glorious. The London Dry profile is everything you could want — bold juniper, complex botanicals, full body. If only they still made gin this good.

1960s gin quality
Gordon's in the 1960s at 47% was clearly a superior product. This London Dry has depth, complexity, and a juniper presence that today's offering can only dream of. English bottling at its finest.

Decades have taken their toll
While better than modern Gordon's, this 1960s bottling at 47% has inevitably lost some freshness over sixty-plus years. The juniper remains but supporting botanicals have faded. Interesting historically but no longer at its peak.

England's vintage best
A 1960s English-bottled Gordon's at 47% showcases what this iconic brand used to be. Robust juniper, complex botanicals, and a satisfying weight on the palate. Proper London Dry gin.

When mass-market meant quality
This 1960s spring cap Gordon's at 47% proves that mass-market gin once meant something. The London Dry character is rich and complex in a way that modern supermarket gins rarely achieve.

Swinging sixties Gordon's
This 1960s spring cap Gordon's at 47% is sensational. The higher proof and presumed original recipe create a London Dry with bold juniper and full body. Miles better than the modern version.
