York Gin London Dry is a classic English London Dry Gin from York, built around nine botanicals traditionally associated with English gin making: juniper, coriander, cinnamon, orris root, angelica, cardamom, black pepper, lemon peel and grains of paradise. Bottled at 42.5% ABV, it is designed as a clean, dry and balanced gin rather than a flavoured expression. The style is deliberately classical, but the spice structure gives the gin enough personality to stand out in a simple serve.

The nose is harmonious, with juniper at the centre, warm floral top notes and a gentle citrus edge. Coriander and lemon peel keep the first impression bright, while cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon and grains of paradise add warmth and a peppery lift. Orris and angelica create the dry, earthy base that keeps the gin firmly in London Dry territory. On the palate, the gin is dry and balanced: juniper leads, citrus opens the middle and the spices build gradually without overwhelming the structure.

In a gin and tonic, York Gin London Dry works best with a clean tonic and a restrained citrus garnish such as a dehydrated lemon wheel. The garnish should support the lemon peel and spice rather than dominate the glass. The gin also fits classic cocktails well, especially a Martini or Tom Collins, where its dry frame and warm spice remain readable. The finish is earthy, dry and gently peppered, with angelica, citrus and cardamom lingering. It is a strong example of a modern craft gin that respects a very traditional English template.
