The Store Gin

The Store Gin is a London Dry GinLondon DryA style, not a place of origin: every flavour comes from distilling natural botanicals. After distillation only water and a trace of sugar may be added, with no flavouring or colouring.GlossarySee London Dry gins produced by Hawkridge Distillers for The Store Oxford, and it has become a useful SEO bottle because of its 2025 competition visibility. The World Gin Awards named it World's Best London Dry Gin 2025, listing it at 40% ABV, from England, with Hawkridge Distillers as the company behind it. The style is not experimental; its value lies in a polished, award-winning London Dry profile built from familiar gin markers: juniper, coriander, citrus peel, angelica and warm spice.

Citrus · Woody · Spicy

The tasting profile is classic but not flat. JuniperJuniperThe one compulsory botanical: gin must taste predominantly of juniper. Its "berry" is really a small conifer cone, resinous and peppery.Glossary opens the structure, coriander brings dry spice, and citrus peel gives the first lift. CassiaCassiaThe bark of a Chinese cinnamon tree, coarser and hotter than Ceylon cinnamon. It brings a warm, slightly sweet spice.Glossary adds warmth and a slightly woody spice, while angelica keeps the gin dry and grounded. The World Gin Awards tasting note points toward prominent juniper, a hint of sweetness, coriander, woody herbs, subtle chilli-like warmth and bitter tones. In the glass, that reads as a clean London Dry with enough texture to avoid feeling thin at 40% ABV.

For the perfect servePerfect serveThe way the producer recommends serving the gin (glass, tonic, ratio, garnish) to show it at its best.Glossary, the goal is to respect the dry ginDry ginGin with no perceptible sweetness: in the European Union, the word "dry" allows at most 0.1 g of sugar per litre.GlossarySee Dry gin gins structure while highlighting its citrus-spice line. East Imperial Burma Tonic Water gives a firm bitter frame without turning the drink sweet. Orange peel repeats the citrus side, and a very restrained cinnamon stick nods to cassia without making the serve taste like winter spice. The result should be direct, dry and aromatic: a grown-up G&T for a gin that wins by balance rather than by loud botanicals. Its SEO interest is therefore matched by a real tasting angle: an award-led gin that still behaves like a reliable, classic London Dry.
