London Dry Gin

London Dry is a style designation, not a geographic one — gin distilled from a neutral base with juniper-forward botanicals and no post-distillation flavoring or coloring. Tanqueray, Beefeater, and Bombay Sapphire are the benchmarks; boutique producers like Sipsmith, The Botanist (Islay), and Plymouth push the style with additional botanicals while staying juniper-centric. London Dry is the backbone of the martini, gimlet, negroni, and Tom Collins — anywhere you want a clean, spirit-forward gin that doesn't compete with other flavors.
