A textbook London Dry Gin. Its name refers to the Yeoman Warders who guard the Tower of London (there are no beefy notes to this gin). Beefeater helped define what we think of as the London dry gin style. Nine botanicals (juniper, lemon, coriander, almond, Seville orange, orris, licorice, and angelica root and seed) are macerated for 24 hours before distillation, just as in the original 1860s recipe.
On the tongue, Beefeater brings strong pine-forward juniper notes and a touch of light citrus zest. Earthiness rounds out the finish.
For more reading, we think this is a pretty great review.
