Beefeater Dry Gin

A textbook London Dry Gin that wears it's English pride as openly as the foppishly outfitted Yeoman guards that give it it's name, 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 mid-19th century recipe. 

On the tongue, Beefeater brings strong pine-forward juniper notes and a touch of light citrus zest. The citrus is more in the fore in this lower proof version, with soft orange zest particularly sitting alongside the juniper as a major player. Slightly earthy on the finish, with subtle hints of the licorice and medicinal roots. Bottled at 40% abv.
