Gilbey’s Gin
A classic juniper-led London Dry Gin from Gilbey’s.
The brand was founded in London in 1857 by brothers Walter and Albert Gilbey in the basement of a retail shop on Oxford Street.
Description
In making a fine London Dry Gin such as Gilbey’s, the fermentation process is similar to whiskey production. The fundamental difference is that the congeners, the natural taste elements that are so necessary to Bourbon and Scotch are absent. Instead, gin’s flavour is introduced to the alcohol when it is in a vaporous form and made to pass through a “filter” of juniper berries, herbs and spices.
12 ingredients create a smooth, dry, refreshing gin with a hint of citrus and the freshness of a cottage garden. Because this is such an aromatic Gin it works really well in Martinis.
Well balanced, traditional and bold London Dry Gin, Gilbey’s is clear and colourless with a light floral juniper base aroma with hints of sweet orange. This gin has a clean, light and dry taste.
