What is the difference between London Dry and other types of gin?
London Dry is a dry, classic style with no added flavor after distillation. Other gin types can be sweeter or more experimental in their aromas.
Is gin only for cocktails?
No. Many quality gins can also be enjoyed neat or with ice – especially those with a complex and balanced flavor.
Which gin goes well with gin & tonic?
A fresh and dry gin with distinct juniper notes is perfect for gin & tonic – for example a London Dry. Combine with good tonic and garnish for the full effect.
Is gin a good gift idea?
Yes. A nice bottle of high-quality gin is an obvious gift – for him, for her, or as a host gift. Many are available in beautiful gift packaging.
How is gin best stored?
Store gin in a dark place at room temperature. High-quality bottles with natural botanicals retain their flavor best unopened and out of direct sunlight.
