Greenalls London Dry Gin, 1 L, 40% The label of Greenalls London Dry Gin tempts with the year 1761 as the year the brand was founded. It is no coincidence that Bombay London Dry Gin (white label, 40% vol.) also bears the same year.Until 1980, both brands contained the same contents in different packaging. Since 1980, the two brands have differed in that Greenalls London Dry Gin is distilled in traditional pot stills and Bombay London Dry Gin in a Carter Head still.The recipe is still identical, but the different distillation methods result in different aromas. In comparison, Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin only contains 2 additional botanicals. Greenalls London Dry Gin - a gin that is relatively unknown and, above all, misunderstood in this country.

The man behind Bulldog London Dry Gin is former investment banker Anshuman Vohra. He developed a great passion for gin in his youth, which his father modeled for him. Anshuman Vohra also used to travel a lot and got to know many different flavors all over the world. He liked some of these flavors so much that he really wanted to find them in Bulldog London Dry Gin. Together with his master distiller, he therefore spent a long time developing a recipe using twelve different botanicals from eight different countries. In order to express the taste of the Bulldog London Dry Gin particularly well, a striking bottle was designed which, like the taste of the Bulldog London Dry Gin, does not fit into the pattern of classic gins. The production of the Bulldog London Dry Gin The Bulldog London Dry Gin is made only from the highest quality ingredients. The wheat for the base alcohol is grown especially for the gin in the fertile fields of the east of England. After the wheat has been fermented, a four-stage distillation follows in traditional copper pot stills. After distillation, the botanicals that give the Bulldog London Dry Gin its special taste are added. In addition to some classics such as juniper, licorice and coriander, the recipe also includes exotic ingredients such as Turkish poppy seeds, Chinese dragon eye fruit (longan fruit) and lotus leaves. The Bulldog London Dry Gin is produced entirely in an old English factory that has been specializing in the production of high-quality gin for 150 years. The taste of the Bulldog London Dry Gin On the nose, the Bulldog London Dry Gin shows clear exotic aromas and notes of citrus fruits, juniper and fresh herbs. On the palate, the Bulldog London Dry Gin plays elegantly with the taste buds without developing too much dominance. An outstanding gin that undoubtedly contributes a lot to the new global gin revival! Recommended!

Dry Gin - Finest, unsweetened juniper schnapps
There are two types of gin: London Dry Gin or Dry Gin and sweetened Old Tom Gin. The better-known type of gin is definitely dry gin, the development of which goes back to the 16th century Dutch production of genever, a juniper-flavored brandy. To produce dry gin, neutral alcohol of agricultural origin is flavored with juniper berries and spices such as aniseed, angelica root, coriander, cinnamon and others and then distilled again. Dry gin became known worldwide at the beginning of the 20th century, when it played a major role in the first American bars as an ingredient for gin & tonic, Martini Dry, Gibson, Tom Collins, gin fizz, gin sour and gimlet. The best-known dry gin brands include Beefeater, Bols, Bombay Sapphire, Gordon's and Tanqueray.
