Gordon Gin has a very ancient history, dating back to London at the end of the 18th century, where it was the protagonist of English after dinners in bars and pubs. The real success, and consequently the spread, came in 1925 when Gordon received the first royal authorization from King George V; from that moment on, trade and word of mouth did the rest, and in a short time this Gin became more commercially known, thanks also to its easy availability, until today, where it is considered the best-selling brand in the world. Juniper, coriander and a secret blend of aromatic herbs make up the recipe of this giant, which has become indispensable for the preparation of numerous cocktails.

Transparent and limpid color, it releases vegetal and aromatic herbs scents on the nose, identifiable in juniper berries, rosemary, bay leaves and light notes of bark. The gustatory impact is mainly dry, decisive, bursting in the alcoholic note and rich in herbaceous returns, but requires the union with some other element. In a classic cocktail such as a Gin Tonic or a Gin Lemon, for example, it best expresses its characteristics.
