Peak Gordon's
This 1970s bottling represents Gordon's at its absolute best. At 40% the London Dry profile is rich, juniper-forward, and beautifully balanced. If only they still made it like this. A genuinely special piece of gin heritage.

When Gordon's was king
This 1970s bottling of Gordon's is a reminder of what mass-market gin used to be. At 40% it has so much more character than the modern version. Richer juniper and a fuller body. The good old days indeed.

Nostalgia with substance
This is not just nostalgia — 1970s Gordon's at 40% genuinely tastes better than the modern version. The botanicals seem more intense, the juniper more prominent. A wonderful piece of gin history.

A lesson in what was lost
Tasting 1970s Gordon's at 40% alongside the modern version is educational. The vintage has more body, more juniper, and more soul. Makes you wonder what happened along the way.

Interesting but past its prime
While the 1970s recipe may have been superior, this bottling has lost some vibrancy over the decades. At 40% it is still drinkable but shows its age. An interesting curiosity rather than a great drink.

Vintage Gordon's charm
Opening a 1970s Gordon's is like stepping into a time machine. At 40% this London Dry has a depth of flavour the current recipe cannot match. More juniper, more character, more everything.
