London Dry 45% ABV

Vintage Character
There's something wonderfully old-school about this gin. The 1970s bottling has a rich, full-bodied character that modern gins often lack. At 45% it's got proper presence. A London Dry from a different era.

A Taste of History
Drinking a 1970s bottling is a genuine experience. The juniper has mellowed beautifully over the decades and there's a complexity here that you simply can't replicate. At 45% ABV it still has plenty of life.

Old-School Charm
Red Hills delivers a proper traditional London Dry experience. The 45% ABV gives it backbone and the aged character adds a smoothness that's really appealing. Fascinating to compare with modern gins.

Remarkable Time Capsule
To taste a gin bottled in the 1970s is extraordinary. Despite its age, there's still genuine juniper character and a depth that modern gins rarely achieve. The 45% strength has preserved it well.

Simply Extraordinary
Tasting gin from the 1970s is a privilege. Red Hills has aged gracefully — the juniper has softened into something beautifully mellow, the body is rich and full at 45%, and every sip is a window into how gin used to taste. Unforgettable.

More Curiosity Than Daily
It's interesting as a piece of gin history but the flavours have faded somewhat over the decades. The juniper is muted and the overall profile is a bit flat. Worth trying once but I wouldn't reach for it regularly.

For the Collectors
If you're into vintage spirits, this is a must-try. The London Dry style is unmistakable even after all these years. Rich, smooth, and full of character at 45%. A lovely piece of gin heritage.
